Number Seventeen

On a rainy London evening the city’s elite spill out of Daly’s Theatre, umbrellas and cabs crowding the streets. Frank Theydon, a keen‑eyed artist, is momentarily captivated by a striking young woman stepping into a limousine with her well‑dressed father. His artistic sensibility makes him notice the subtle gestures and whispered words that most would overlook, hinting that something more lies beneath the glitter of the night.

That curiosity drags Them into the shadowy world surrounding Number Seventeen, an address that hides business, intrigue and danger. As they navigate smoky clubs, secret meetings and the tangled loyalties of high society, they discover that the elegant façade may conceal a plot far darker than a simple romance. The novel weaves suspense and period detail into a compelling tale of chance meetings that turn into perilous investigations. Readers are drawn into a maze of clues, where every carriage ride and café conversation could shift the balance between truth and deception.
