That implausibly effective intelligence trio of Lady Jennifer Norrington, Sandro and Colly Tucker III span the globe from Rabat to Loudun to the backroads of Kenya attempting to nip in the bud a ""diabolical"" yet perfectly legal scheme to make Fritz von Cernogratz the richest man in the world. Jenny considers the German mathematician mastermind ""intriguing as well as beautiful"" though he feeds one victim to the eels and beheads his own brother with a buzzsaw. As stylishly overexerted as ever.
