Set against a backdrop of high society and criminal undercurrents, this brisk, stylish thriller captures the early brilliance of a writer who would later redefine the gentleman adventurer. Daredevil blends romantic entanglement, comic reversals, and pulse-pounding twists into a high-stakes game of bluff and bravado.
