Cyprian Druse, eminent critic and terror of the London literati, is found dead. The police rule an accidental death but Simon Crane, Druse's nephew, suspects otherwise. Druse's vituperative pen had destroyed many reputations. Plus no less than five women had fallen victim to his egocentric ruthlessness. The literary "lion" was in truth a viper and Crane sets out to discover - with the help of fellow sleuth Professor Mandrake - the real story behind Druse's demise.
