Inspector Alleyn, the Yard's socialite detective, combines business and pleasure in the south of France when assigned to circumvent a drug racket fronted by sex and religion. The coincidental but circumstantial illness of a woman on a train leads on to kidnapping, murder and the participation in some erotic orgies and more than a little excitement. Good summer sustenance.
