Fun story collection about an upper-class conman who seduces rich women by taking them for a drive in his flashy motors. A polished frequenter of the most exclusive hotels and known variously as ‘his Highness Prince Albert of Hesse-Holstein, alias Charles Fotheringham, alias Henry Tremlett, ‘ as well as other names besides, the phoney prince and his cronies, including the Rev. Thomas Clayton, are always on the look out for a suitable mark. Their elaborate grifts take shape in a bevy of exotic settings such as Belgrade, Florence, Rome, Sofia, San Remo and, er, Stamford in Lincolnshire (it’s very pretty you know!) However, they are not the only crooks on the scene, the continent turns out to be a veritable hornet’s nest of swindlers. (Goodreads)
