In this collection by one of Britain's wittiest mystery writers, all four plots center around London's show business circles and the inimtable actor Charles Paris. While trying to survive "the slings scene", Paris finds himself in the role of unofficial sleuth. He improvises his way through scenes of crime more puzzling and more perilous than he's ever come across in an Agatha Christie script.
