When a ruined City of London office block is bought by a Spanish bank for demolition, no one sheds a tear. No one, that is, except construction tycoon Vernon Gatling. Why, when the demolition contract went to a rival, does he make such a fuss, demanding that the bidding be reopened? He claims that he is feeling sentimental - the block was the first his father let him put up after the war. But Gatling doesn't have a sentimental bone in his body. Neither does Tabitha, trust-fund babe, socialite - and Gatling's daughter. When Gervase Meredith accepts the job of profiling her for a posh monthly, he's very soon in over his head. And curiosity about what makes Tabitha tick leads him to wonder about her megalomaniac father. Soon he's uncovering shady dealing and worse - and having more brushes with death than your average society hack has a right to expect.
