About This Book

A brisk comic caper traces a string of bungled crimes, disguises, and misunderstandings that embroil a well-to-do protagonist and his circle. Repeated thefts and investigations prompt characters to assume false identities, leading to chases, narrow escapes, and farcical confrontations. Romantic entanglements and meddling relatives add complications, while loyal allies and clever contrivances gradually expose conspirators. The plot unfolds through episodic set pieces that blend slapstick, suspense, and social comedy, concluding with unmaskings, reconciliations, and the settling of romantic affairs.
