Blotto, Twinks and the Intimate Revue (okładka  miękka, wyd. 11.2019)

A quick trip to the capital goes horribly wrong when Blotto and Twinks get accidentally involved in London`s criminal underworld . . . It starts innocently enough at the intimate review `absolutely everyone is talking about`, Light and Frothy, where its glamorous star, Frou Frou Gavotte, has rather taken the fancy of Blotto`s school friend Giles `Whiffler` Trumpington. But while Blotto and Whiffler wait for the star outside the theatre to take her to dinner, Whiffler is seized and manhandled into the back of a cab which then drives off into the night . . . Leaving Blotto with the problem of how to rescue his kidnapped schoolmate. Naturally, he enlists Twinks`s help and the two of them encounter actors, singers, impresarios, revue writers, cockney showgirls and Scotland Yard`s finest - and white slave traders, who succeed in abducting Twinks - leaving it up to Blotto and his trusty chauffeur, Corky Froggett, to rescue her before she`s shipped off to foreign parts forever . . . Praise for Simon Brett `A new Simon Brett is an event for mystery fans` P. D. James `Murder most enjoyable` Colin Dexter `One of British crime`s most assured craftsmen . . . Crime writing just like in the good old days, and perfect entertainment` Guardian `Few crime writers are so enchantingly gifted` Sunday Times `Simon Brett writes stunning detective stories. I would recommend them to anyone` Jilly Cooper
