The Secret of Chimneys

Young Anthony Cade, a charming drifter with a penchant for adventure, finds himself unwittingly entangled in a dangerous web of international intrigue and murder when he agrees to deliver the explosive memoirs of the late, exiled Count Stylptitch to a London publisher. Unbeknownst to him, these memoirs hold secrets that could shake the fragile monarchy of Herzoslovakia. No sooner does he arrive in England than he is drawn into the opulent, yet sinister, world of Chimneys, a stately country house with a notorious past, currently hosting a gathering of political figures and old acquaintances. A murder soon shatters the veneer of civility, plunging Anthony and the resourceful young Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent into a frantic search for a killer and a missing princess. As identities are questioned, conspiracies unravel, and buried secrets resurface, Anthony must navigate a labyrinth of lies and betrayals to expose the truth before Herzoslovakia plunges into chaos, and he himself becomes the next victim.
