Lucifer Box - the gorgeous butterfly of King Bertie's reign,
portraitist, dandy and terribly good secret agent - is feeling his
age. Assigned to observe the activities of fascist leader Olympus
Mons and his fanatical Amber Shirts in a snow-bound 1920s New York,
Box finds himself framed for a vicious murder. Using all his native
cunning, Box escapes aboard a vessel bound for England armed only
with 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 snow-capped peaks of Switzerland The Devil in Amber takes us on
a thrilling ride that pits Lucifer Box against the most lethal
adversary of his career : the Prince of Darkness himself.
