Synopsis

Check back into London's posh Savoy Hotel in the swinging sixties where dark forces and murder are uninvited guests--volume 3 in the cheeky series that is now a French bestseller.

Everything at London's Savoy Hotel appears to be the picture of perfection: two Italian princes are checking in and an amorous English lord is taking photographs on the rooftop.

But in the Savoy Press Office, it's a different picture entirely. There, Miss Priscilla Tempest is scrambling to avoid a boss who would like to be rid of her, a threatening American gangster, and the rather thrilling star of the Tarzan movies.

And it isn't long before a fascist plot, hatched in an English country estate, arrives to truly ruin her day--and threaten British democracy.

In this third installment in Ron Base and Prudence Emery's beloved series, reluctant crime-fighter Priscilla Tempest joins forces with her would-be lover--the ink-stained scribe of Fleet Street, Percy Hoskins--on a danger-filled adventure to untangle a deadly web of conspiracy that could get them both killed.

Sassy, suspenseful and always entertaining, Princess of the Savoy will delight readers looking to escape into a world of glamor, danger, treachery and a dead body or two--where there is always time for just one more cocktail, even when democracy itself is at stake.
