Book Overview

Having just been ousted from his cozy fling with a rich and adulterous fashion plate, Lovejoy is broke (again), homeless, and on the verge of a new adventure.

As usual he finds more trouble there, and he brings some of his old troubles with him, so before long, Lovejoy is in big trouble again, and people that he knows start dying.
