A little about the story

Mr. Sabin is drawn back into intrigue when a secret society threatens the settled life he has made with Lucille. He moves through hotels and private dining rooms where his former connections are more useful than a public appeal for help.

The tension comes from how courteously old acquaintances can talk while denying one another information. Sabin’s household arrangements already show how hard it is to separate private loyalty from political allegiance.
