内容简介：
Hell-Bent on Blackmail follows the career of private eye Jim Bent on a trawl through the seedy underworld of London. It stands alone as a complex yet compelling crime story. Fast-paced, racy, tortuous, this book is all of these and more as it weaves in and out of Londonas club land, opulent country houses and the world of politics. On one level it is a terrific story that has been constructed with care to keep its readers guessing as parts of an intricate jigsaw gradually fit together, whilst on another level it is a masterful comparison of differing concepts of loyaltyathe loyalty of brothers, of spouses and of true friends.
