On this fifth experience of Cyrus Skeen, private detective and socialite in SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, it is January 1930, the finish of the Roaring Twenties and the beginning of the "Red Ten years" when Soviet spies and Communist fellow travelers have started to infiltrate the government and other corporations in good sized quantities. During a Nob Hill contemporary society get together, Skeen and his painter partner, Dilys, befriend a lovely sculptress who actually is a British spy carrying important information about the extent of this infiltration in North american and British governments. In A Crimson Overture, a very important factor leads to another, and soon Skeen is enmeshed in a conspiracy to silence him and anyone else with knowledge of the size of espionage and treason in both countries. In the last Skeen case, The Chameleon, the intrepid and cosmopolitan detective uncovers and dissolves a Nazi Bund in a university or college town near SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, while in The Daed'lus Conspiracy, he journeys north to a Redwood Forest to foil the assassination of a U.S. Senator. On this latest exploit, Skeen tangles with J. Edgar Hoover's Bureau of Exploration, irascible law enforcement officials detectives and newspapermen, and ruthless Soviet providers hurrying to cover up their depredations prior to the British spy's secrets are revealed to the specialists.
