From the back:
"Perhaps you know Patrick Seton? He's that dear little, sinister little medium one meets at spiritualist seances. Well, they've accused him of forgery: he's coming up for trial. And all the bachelors of Chelsea, Kensington and Hampstead are in a VHF of a flutter."
NB! My copy has a different cover.

This is the second Muriel Spark book I've _tried_ to read and then abandoned after the first few dozen pages. (The first one was The Ballad of Peckham Rye). I don't think I'll give her a third try.
This book is now off to kobie03 who chose it from the First Sentences VBB based on this:
"Daylight was appearing over London, the great city of bachelors."
"Daylight was appearing over London, the great city of bachelors."

Entertaining read when you realize it was written 50+ years ago. Our bachelors are much more dashing today. Very quirky characters, none of whom I warmed up to. I liked the spiritualist seances parts, wonder if this is how cults are born.
