More DescriptionA little bit Wimsey, a little bit Wooster, young gay aristocrat Viscount Foxbridge (Foxy to his friends) moves to London in June 1927 and begins poking his nose into other people's business; but life in a big city is quite different from Oxford or Eton, and Foxy's habitual nosy-parkering turns up a surprising number of corpses. With his excellent valet Pond in tow, Foxy solves mysteries, falls in love with a cop, befriends a dominatrix, becomes engaged to a cross-dressing debutante, hobnobs with royalty, and finds adventure around every corner.With nods to P.G. Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh, and the Gentleman Detective school of British fiction, Robert Manners delivers a cheerful caprice that encompasses love, sex, scandal, justice, and death with a light touch and tongue firmly in cheek.
