Andrew Mallory is a British anthropologist living in self imposed exile among the natives of a tropical island.
At Christmas time Mallory returns to London, for old times' sake. After an unpleasant evening at a society party where he drinks far too much, Mallory finds himself escorting a pretty young woman to the glamorous nightclub of the moment. And before the night is over, the lovely lady is found brutally murdered in the nightclub's ladies' room, and Mallory is drawn into the dangerous, shifting world of international intrigue -- with deadly consequences.
A good, and fast, read with just the right amount of creepiness.
