About this title: British high society, spy stories, and goofy religious cults are all gently mocked in this inventive, stylish satire. When the highly imaginative Lady Sophia Garfield discovers a nest of very real German spies in her home, nobody believes her. With her maid murdered and her beloved bulldog held hostage, she sets out alone to gain proof and, with time out for tea at the Ritz, save Britain.
