Bruce Attleton dazzled London's literary scene with his first two novels - but his early promise did not bear fruit. His wife Sybilla, a glittering actress, is unforgiving of Bruce's failure. When Bruce is called away on a sudden trip to Paris, he vanishes completely - until his suitcase and passport are found in a sinister artist's studio, the Belfry, in a crumbling house in Notting Hill. A mystery from a classic writer is set in a superbly evoked London of the 1930s.
