β¦ Synopsis
A new Curate had been appointed to the Parish of St Guyβs, but somebody didnβt want him thereβand trashed the Parish Hall to get the message across. That might not have interested the Hon Richard Rollisonβbut murder certainly did and it seemed the two were linked. The denizens of the East End docks, West End nightclubs, black marketeers and a beautiful woman all jostle with The Toff as he weaves his way through Londonβs highs and lows, his path impeded all the way by the Curate himself. If ever a man were his own worst enemy, it would be the belligerent Rev. Ronald Kemp.
