The last novel of Sims, an Englishman who served in British Intelligence during World War II and tried a career as a journalist before becoming a London bookseller. He wrote three non-fiction books about "the rare book game" and twelve novels, most of them bibliomysteries featuring booksellers.

Quinn's search stirs up the past back to the 1930s when Despain resided in Kenya and results in three cold-blooded murders with Quinn suddenly realizing he may be number four.
