At the same time, high flying model Katrina Chancey goes missing; womaniser Gabriel Grainger is reported missing by his long-suffering wife, Zoë; Lord Tiverton has been robbed of a valuable suit of armour; jewel robberies by The Fox, continue unabated, and another body is discovered in unexpected circumstances. It’s a race to the finish to find the murderer and solve all the mysteries and Inspector Angel tackles this unusual case with his customary unique quirkiness and skill.
