Synopsis
New York City, the Jazz Age. Augustus Berrycloth-Young, fop, flâneur and Englishman abroad, chronicles the age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, having braved the Atlantic crossing in pursuit of a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone said to have a strange power over those who play it. The case takes Gussie from his warm bed to the cold shores of Long Island and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic and madness haunt the shadows. A Rivers of London novella set in the 1920s.
