Noel Coward in Post-Liberation Paris, 1948: haute couture, existentialism, jazz . . . and death.

Coward is in Paris to play the lead in his own play 'Present Laughter' in French.

But the murder of a promiscuous mannequin provides a stylish distraction.

Malcolm Sinclair stars as Noel Coward.

Another adventure for the celebrated playwright, actor, composer and amateur detective by Marcy Kahan.
