About this book
A crowded roulette room in Monte Carlo brings Henry Hunterleys face to face with Violet, whose pleasure at the tables abruptly turns to unease. She believes he has arranged for a private detective to follow her from London through Cannes to the resort. His denial leaves her with another problem: someone has been watching her, and she cannot explain why. E. Phillips Oppenheim places this mystery among fashionable visitors, glittering clothes and the constant business of betting.
Later, Violet asks Hunterleys to stay with her, but a late appointment draws him away. His refusal to explain it deepens their strained exchange. The next scene follows his cautious route through the town to a small villa for a midnight meeting. Readers interested in suspense built from guarded conversations and social appearances will find a novel in which personal distrust and secret affairs occupy the same luxurious setting.
