Synopsis

When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty young dancer at the

Frozen Fang night club in Soho, he has every hope of an idyllic marriage.

But Nancy has more worldly ideas about her future: she is attracted not

so much to Bobbie as to the fortune he expects to inherit.

Bobbie's miserly uncle Massy stands between him and happiness:

he will not relinquish the ten thousand a year on which Nancy's hopes rest. When

Bobbie falls under the sway of the unprincipled Nosey Ruslin, the stage is set for

murder in the heart of Piccadilly - and for Nancy's dreams to be realised.

When Chief Inspector Wake of Scotland Yard enters the scene, he uncovers

a tangled web of love affairs, a cynical Soho underworld, and a motive for murder.

This good-natured vintage mystery novel is now republished for the first

time since the 1930s, with an introduction by the award-winning crime writer

Martin Edwards, the leading expert on inter-war detective fiction.
