Аннотация

3 Aug 1935 - 11 Aug 1935
"MIDNIGHT at the Casino" is the first chapter heading in this strange story of international intrigue wherein 'planes flit by night to secret landing-grounds and lightless launches nose their way up narrow creeks in a low desolate coastline. From the moment we meet the beautiful Sabine during La Grande Semaine at Deauville until the last page which discloses the end of her romance the reader is caught up and lives for breathless hours through scene after scene of swift action and stealthy secret work at night. We meet again that sinister figure of twisted body and twisted brain Lord Gavin Fortescue who escaped all penalty for the havoc and suffering he wrought in Such Power is Dangerous; and pitted against him we find that cynical but charming egoist Gregory Sallust whose courage and imagination saved his friends in the dark hours of Black August. The story is told with all the skill and speed and plausibility which have delighted readers of Wheatley's tales of romance and adventure all over the world.
