Roving reporter Nick Madrid finds himself in New York covering a fencing tournament between Britain and the USA. When he stumbles over a murder plot involving big money sports sponsorship, he knows he's on to a hot story. And when he discovers a link to an old mystery from the thirties involving Nazi gold and Oswald Mosley's blackshirts, he can't resist trying to foil the villain's plan.
Bringing intelligence and caustic wit to the hard-boiled genre has always been Guttridge's speciality, and this is his sharpest entry yet in the beguiling Nick Madrid series. As always, Nick's slightly maladroit handling makes for hilarious reading - THE TIMES
