The blurb:
"Lucifer Box - the gorgeous buutterfly of King Bertie's reign, portraitist, dandy and terribly good secret agent - is feeling his age. Assigned to observe the activities of fascist leader Olympus Mons and his fanatical Amber Shirts in a snow-bound 1920s New York, Box finds himself framed for a vicious murder.
"Using all his native cunning, Box escapes aboard a vessel bound for England armed only with a Broadway midget's suitcase and a string of unanswered questions. What lies hidden in the bleak Norfolk convent of St Bede? What is 'the lamb' that Olympus Mons searches for in his bid for world domination? And what has all this to do with a medieval prayer intended to summon the Devil himself?"

Stephen Fry says Lucifer Box books are delicious and depraved, and he's not far wrong.
This time we get to meet Lucifer's sister, some rather interesting seafarers and a mysterious presence. There are as many dashing moments and romps (of all kinds) as in the first book, and a lovely sneaky twist or two...

Being sent to someone I think will enjoy this while she makes the most of her upcoming maternity leave...

and then if that wasn't enough, she sent the second book! I'm very excited about being sent both of these and can't wait to read them (once I've got through a couple moer on mount TBR).

Thank you very much Minxy, you know me very well ;o).
