The Duke of York's Steps, Paperback / softback Book

The Duke of York's Steps Paperback / softback

Part of the Inspector Poole Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

A wealthy banker, Sir Garth Fratten, dies suddenly from an aneurysm on the Duke of York's Steps.

His doctor is satisfied that a mild shock such as being jostled would be enough to cause Sir Garth's death.

It all seems so straightforward, and there is no inquest. But Fratten's daughter Inez is not satisfied. She places an advertisement in the London newspapers that comes to the attention of Scotland Yard, and Inspector John Poole is assigned to make enquiries. Poole's investigation leads him into a world of high finance where things are not as they seem; a sordid world in which rich young men make fools of themselves over chorus girls.
