Recently retired from the military, Field Marshall James and his buddy Lord Bigsby, are soon bored with their aristocratic lives and decide to form a detective agency to help friends in their social sphere. Of course, they have no intention of charging fees for their services, seeing as how they are rank amateurs. No sooner are they open for business, but they receive their first client-Sir Martin Nash, who asks them to track down his step-daughter Priscilla who's been missing for several weeks. Soon the two old gentlemen are off on their first case! And what a case it proves to be-particularly when it becomes clear that finding Priscilla is not their main task--finding out who killed her father Lord Percy is! Their investigation takes them to vineyards, race courses, and art auctions in England, France, and Spain, with danger and excitement lurking at every turn. Do they find Priscilla? More importantly, can they identify and trap the killer of Lord Percy before this killer strikes again?
