Summary Note |
"It is August of 1923 and the heat of the summer has turned London into a furnace. The recently engaged Honourable Daisy Dalrymple is invited to lunch by Lord John Frobisher, her brother-in-law, who has come to the city from his small village in Kent to attend to business. The business he's come to attend to, however, is very personal and very serious. It seems someone has been sending him a series of "poison pen" letters threatening to reveal an indiscretion of his youth - a revelation that would damage his marriage and position, and hurt those dearest to him. Unwilling to risk going to the proper authorities, Johnnie wants Daisy to come visit for a few days and see if she can quietly locate the person responsible. With Belinda, her fiance's daughter, in tow, Daisy takes a few days away from her writing career to visit her sister and see what she can uncover."-- |
