THE DIPLOMAT AND THE GOLD PIANO

Interior decorators Emily and Henry Bryce are indirectly involved in the anonymous attempt (hoax or smear) to ruin U.N. envoy Pierre Marie Cloche, whose appeal for a loan for his poor African country will be invalidated by his newly done over apartment with a gold piano and a desk with medallion portraits of Marx and Engels. Two murders contribute but do not really complicate... The Bryces' lighthearted, scatterbrained busy-ness is the real trompe l'oeil; skittish it may be but sketchy it is.
