Book Overview

A mysterious man arrives in London aboard a Baltic steamship, bringing with him a cargo of exotic veneers and inlays-and a contract that could transform the fortunes of a struggling City firm. James Golspie, with his theatrical moustache and piratical air, seems to have stepped from another world into the grimy backstreets of Angel Pavement.

As Golspie insinuates himself into the lives of Twigg & Dersingham's employees-from the ambitious junior clerk to the discontented typist-his presence begins to unravel the delicate fabric of their routines. Promises of prosperity clash with the entrenched rhythms of a London still haunted by the Great War's shadow.

What does this enigmatic outsider truly want? And will his arrival bring salvation or ruin to those who dare to trust him?
