Hilda Fortune is a young working woman in London, whose survival depends on her rigorous routine of work. She is a woman of means or so her neighbors think, but, she is alone and looking for love too. Some of her world is punctuated with family who visit, and a love of the city and the theatres and galleries that abund. The will to succeed is ingrained in her being, but the capital presents obstacles and challenges. There is a murderer on the loose of gay men. A cafe owner with a strange habit. And a new found friend from the mountains of France. There are snares in the undergrowth and strangers in the shadows and a lovely boy called Dennis who loves playing football in her garden.
