Private enquiry agent Lady Eleanor Bakewell returns in another tale of murder, intrigue, and romance set in 1920s London. Who had the nerve to commit murder at an elegant high-society party in Mayfair? Who among the other seven people playing cards that evening with Lord George Bancroft, notorious womaniser and gambler, put a knife in his back? Lady Eleanor Bakewell doesn’t know, but when a young parlour maid asks for her help in proving her innocence the socialite sleuth is soon on the case. So, too, are Military Intelligence which puts a new and unwelcome angle on the case for Eleanor. Mired in suspects and questions about the dead man’s background, Eleanor feels overwhelmed. She will need all her wits about her to find the killer before the parlour maid is wrongly arrested for a crime she did not commit.
