When Kit Fancot returns on leave from the diplomatic service, he expects to find his loving family at home waiting for him.
Instead, he is startled to find his alluring yet extravagant mother on the brink of financial and social ruin. Even more shocking, he is informed that his twin brother Evelyn has vanished without a trace.
It's not long before Kit realises the true extent of his family's tangled affairs; it's left to him to set things right.
But in the face of Evelyn's continued absence, Kit's ingenuity is stretched to the limit . . .
