Georgia Wells is a little larger than life. It is to meet her that Albert Campion goes to a dress-show in Park Lane. Only the day before he had located the skeleton of her fiance who disappeared three years before. First, there is a skeleton in a dinner jacket. Then a corpse in a golden aeroplane. After another body, private detective Albert Campion nearly makes a fourth... Both the skeleton and the corpse have died with suspicious convenience for Georgia Wells, a monstrous but charming actress with a raffish entourage - vain, stupid and selfish, she attracts men like moths to a flame. Georgia's best friend just happens to be Valentine, a top couturiere with celebrated clients, and Campion's sister. And in order to protect Valentine, Campion must unravel a story of blackmail and ruthless murder.
