Description: In the midst of this bizarre world, R. H. W. Dillard stages an intricate detective story that will keep the reader on edge from its baffling beginning to its astonishing end. What starts as a local murder investigation by amateur sleuth Sir Hugh Fitz-Hyffen uncovers an intricate chain of events that stretches from the mountains of Romania to the ancient strongholds of Scotland, to the tenements of Newark, New Jersey. An enormous diamond, a mask said to be that of Fu Manchu, and a series of brutal "Zodiac" killings are but three of the strands in the complex net of this thoroughly postmodern and highly entertaining mystery.
