About This Book

A London-based artist notices a striking young woman after a theatre outing and, through a short delay, is drawn toward a mysterious nearby house where furtive comings and goings suggest a concealed criminal plot. He becomes entangled with a shrewd ally and investigating figures while unraveling hidden rooms, false identities, and coded messages. The action proceeds by observation, deduction, and narrow escapes, and thematically examines coincidence, the contrast between public respectability and private vice, and the dangers that follow from curious attention.
