About This Book

A demobilised officer, restless in peacetime, answers a tongue-in-cheek advertisement he himself placed and is drawn into a dangerous game when a mysterious woman challenges his offer. He pursues a criminal conspiracy across London, the Surrey countryside, and Paris, facing ambushes, rooftop chases, and violent confrontations. The plot mixes brisk action, scheming villains, and witty camaraderie as he and a small circle of allies uncover plots, protect threatened innocents, and bring the antagonists to a decisive climax.
