WAKE UP, GALLERY! As the Great War rages across Europe, the City of Gallery gasps under the boot of Lord Mayor Gall-aided from the shadows by the machiavellian Lady Hawthorne. Killers and profiteers are installed in the halls of power. Resistance is met with brutality. But as Madame Ferrier and Honoria Crabb take on a case that draws them into direct conflict with the despotic Ministry of War, a missing element is returning to Gallery: Sir Mimley and Ducky, Last of the Bastrops, braving assassins and battlefields on a mission to stop Gall and Hawthorne once and for all. The course of the 20th Century will be decided in this final contest between the criminal war machine of an entire nation and a ragtag league of gumshoes, misfits-and Lavender Jack!
