Excerpt from X V. Rex
This sudden giant stride was due to the idea, shyly enough inaugurated in the three years immediately following 1918 but boldly swelling with each succeeding year that because a man must work in the grey and dangerous jungle of London it does not follow that he must eat his evening meal there and sleep there and spend there his Saturday afternoons and Sabbaths.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the 1930s, offers a thrilling glimpse into the world of pre-war England. A series of seemingly unrelated events unfolds in the bustling town of Farnley and the glamorous streets of Mayfair. The author, with a keen eye for detail, masterfully captures the atmosphere of the era, weaving a complex tapestry of social commentary, crime, and mystery. The reader is transported to a time when social class played a prominent role, and the contrast between the quiet countryside and the fast-paced city life set the stage for a compelling narrative. A murder, the theft of a policeman's helmet, and a lavish party in Mayfair all become interconnected as the author explores the darkest corners of human nature and the consequences of reckless behavior. The book grapples with themes of social hierarchy, the shifting moral landscape of the time, and the unsettling undercurrents of violence that simmer beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary life. Ultimately, this book offers a captivating glimpse into the anxieties and moral ambiguities of a world on the brink of war, forcing readers to confront the enduring questions of justice, guilt, and the elusive nature of truth.
