About this ebook
Another sequel to the Thadeus Burke adventure stories; continuing the antics of the aristocratic Lloyd's Insurance Broker and his sister Dr Freddie, together with Inspector Johnny Jackson of Scotland Yard.
It is now 1928.
An apparently motiveless murder at the opening ceremony of the new Lloyd's Underwriting Room develops into a trek around the country seeking money lenders and drug dealers. We follow the unravelling of this mystery, interwoven with passionate affaires involving most of the prime suspects.
Entwined within this tale there are bodies at Country House Parties, Fancy Dress Balls and a Treasure Hunt, trips to the Derby and Royal Ascot, in addition to the now customary sexual shenanigans.. All part of the great fun in Britain's last elegant decade, the nineteen-twenties.

Terry Minahan
Terry Minahan lived from an early age in London then for the last twenty years has resided with his wife Lydia in Newmarket; this suited his work with bloodstock insurance and her work as an artist.He left school at sixteen years of age and went straight to a firm of Lloyds’ Brokers, starting in the accounts department then spent many years wandering around the Underwriting Room as a broker, gathering friends and enemies in consideration of a modest monetary reward.He was always an avid reader of detective fiction along with a love of Shakespeare and Plato, and more recently with a passionate interest in classic and baroque music and the study of music theory, coupled with attempts at playing the clarinet.His first book, The Adventures of Thadeus Burke was published in May 2008, and the Further Adventures a year later; the present effort is another sequel following the antics of the same heroes. Look out for the fourth, and maybe final, instalment of the adventures of Thadeus Burke which is progressing well.
