About this book

At Chimneys, the great country house of The Secret of Chimneys, a group of young guests play a practical joke on Gerry Wade, a heavy sleeper, by placing eight alarm clocks in his room, but in the morning he is found dead of an overdose, with seven of the clocks lined up on the mantelpiece. The lively Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent investigates, uncovers a secret society that meets in masks at a nightclub in the Seven Dials district of London, and is helped by the quiet Superintendent Battle.
