With her detailed knowledge of the period, Gillian Linscott uses a real event - the attempted bombing of Lloyd George's house - to launch Nell into her seventh rollicking adventure. Attempting to protect her friends in the suffragette movement from police enquiries into the bombing, Nell agrees to help expose a blackmailer. Someone, possibly the manager of a fashionable dancer, has got hold of some indiscreet correspondence between Asquith and his mistress.

But before anyone can act, the principal artiste is murdered and Nell is surrounded by those she loathes most - politicians, mysoginist businessmen and the police. . .
