When Bobbie Cheldon falls in love with a pretty yung 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. Poisoned Pen Press, Softcover, 2019 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK.…
