Excerpt from The Tragedy of an Indiscretion
You arrange with him about to-morrow, Ronny. I'll go on and register. Half-past ten will do. We shan't want to be too early.
She passed through the great revolving doors, in the wake of the porters; while the man finished his arrangement with the chauffeur.
In the hall he was unnoticed among the crowd, but he caught sight of his luggage, and followed in time to hear the clerk say, to the porter, Suite 27, 28 and Immediately opposite, the corner of a corridor was inscribed Numbers IO to He walked along - the lift had just started upwards and a waiter met him.

Excerpt from The Tragedy of an Indiscretion
My determination to tell a somewhat extraordinary story as simply and directly as possible, concealing nothing and avoiding all mystery, has been frustrated, at the very outset, by the managing director of the hotel in which it must necessarily open. He flatly declines to allow the name of the hotel to be mentioned, and an imperative letter from the company's solicitor leaves me no choice but to call it the Terminus Hotel - which is not its name - and leave the reader to choose among the many hotels in London the one to which this name might apply.
Henley was long over, and Goodwood a thing of the past; the Eton and Harrow match had been played; London was hurrying out of town and strangers were flocking in. The Terminus Hotel was very busy: guests, coming and going, thronged the entrance hall and besieged the bureau. One caught a glimpse of an orange-coloured dress with a daring touch of black vanishing through a door, over which was inscribed "Ladies' Coiffure." One was aware of a handkerchief and gloves dropped in passing, and a chambermaid hurrying to restore them to their owner; a scent of jasmine hung for a moment in the air; that was all.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the journey of a man thrust into a series of compromising situations when he serendipitously meets a dying man with striking similarities. A mistaken identity thrusts our protagonist into a tangled web of events that quickly spiral out of control. The mysterious death of his assumed wife leaves him in the unenviable position of fulfilling her final wishes while dealing with the consequences of his accidental impersonation, and all whilst endeavouring to protect his unsuspecting friend from the scandal that would destroy him. As the plot unfolds, the author skilfully examines human nature, the moral complexities of love, duty, and the lengths we will go to in order to protect the ones we care for. Through its exploration of these themes, this book offers poignant insights into the human condition, the complexities of personal responsibility, and the importance of integrity in the face of adversity.
