A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

An episode in the life of Hugo Hammersley-formerly of HM diplomatic service-bon vivant, self-confessed genius and serial connoisseur of the fairer sex. Through a series of chance encounters, Hammersley is shoehorned into investigating the murder of a notable British citizen in Italy and the disappearance of the priceless gold coin he carried. Complications surface, however, when Hammersley finds himself recruited by a leading Mafioso to assist in his current enterprise: the reinstatement of the Italian monarchy. Where the Mafia leads, beautiful women will always follow, and Hammersley finds himself in more than one compromising but familiar position-and not just because of the raging Mafia turf war. Through a mixture of his usual allies - charm, cunning and damned good fortune - Hammersley is left standing (just about). Whether he makes it safely back home with the elusive gold coin in his pocket - well, that may be another story.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Matthew J. Dick is frequently described by those who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance as "at once masculine, sensitive and poetic", apparently without irony. An idler and a shirker, he tries to avoid challenging activity of any kind lest he finds it tedious. More acute (awake) readers may interpret this as a fear of failure, but that is entirely untrue: Dick has no fear of failure, it being a life-long companion of his. The author is often charged with being a killjoy, an accusation which never fails to delight him. He dislikes coriander. Intensely.
