The fabulous Lucifer Box returns for another round of spirited,
pun-heavy sleuthing in this devilishly decadent sequel to the
acclaimed "The Vesuvius Club."
Lucifer Box -- portraitist, dandy and terribly good secret agent
-- is feeling his age. He's also more than a little anxious about
an ambitious younger agent, Percy Flarge, who's snapping at his
heels. Assigned to observe the activities of fascist leader Olympus
Mons and his fanatical followers, or "Amber Shirts," in F.A.U.S.T.
-- The Fascist Anglo-United States Trinity (an acronym so tortuous
it can only be sinister) -- in snowbound 1920s New York, Box finds
himself framed for a vicious, mysterious murder.
Using all of his native cunning, Box escapes aboard a vessel
bound for England armed with only a Broadway midget's suitcase and
a string of unanswered questions: What lies hidden in the bleak
Norfolk convent of St. Bede? What is "the lamb" that Olympus Mons
searches for in his bid for world domination? And what has all this
to do with a medieval prayer intended to summon the Devil
himself?
From the glittering sophistication of Art Deco Manhattan to the
eerie Norfolk coast and the snowcapped peaks of Switzerland, "The
Devil in Amber" takes us on a thrilling, delicious ride that pits
Lucifer Box against the most lethal adversary of his career: the
Prince of Darkness himself.
