Knave. Joker. Queen. Lucifer Box is back!
The hero of" The Vesuvius Club" and "The Devil in Amber" returns
with an artistic licence to kill, and the deadliest mission of his
career. A new Queen has been crowned, an old enemy has resurfaced
and the world is about to be embraced by the lethal wings of the
Black Butterfly....
Lucifer Box. He's tall, he's dark and, like the shark, he looks
for trouble.
Or so he wishes. For, with Queen Elizabeth newly established on
her throne, the now elderly secret agent is reaching the end of his
scandalous career. Despite his fast-approaching retirement,
however, queer events leave Box unable to resist investigating one
last case....Why have pillars of the Establishment started dying in
reckless accidents?Who are the deadly paymasters of enigmatic
assassin Kingdom Kum?And who...or what...is the mysterious Black
Butterfly?
From the seedy streets of Soho to the souks of Istanbul and the
sun-drenched shores of Jamaica, Box must use his artistic licence
to confront and kill an enemy with its roots in his own notorious
past. Can Lucifer Box save the day before the dying of the
light?
