About this item
"Colonel Leather runs his intelligence network not merely against Britain's adversaries, but against her glib and insincere leaders. He is tough and upright, but still has a sense of fun. He is also a survivor. Another survivor, of a sort, is the ambitious and selfish Artemis Boden, a would-be actress and the delectable daughter of a Lowland Scottish land owner. Defiant in her ill- uck, she tries to force fate's hand. From initial forays of intrigue and forgery, she escalates to gross acts of criminal and sexual power-play, as fury-like, she struggles to sustain the illusion of success. Colonel Leather sees in her a possible instrument of revenge against the treacherous and arrogant hordes who oppose him and inexorably, she becomes the lethal weapon of his campaign, enticed by the glowing fires of ruinous sin into ever deeper desperation, savagery and nihilism...until the bubble bursts...."
