Lytton's Diary

Neville Lytton investigates the identity of a masked naken woman who strips at stage parties. A gambler, Lucky Jim Diamond, threatens to sue him over an article Lytton has written.

Lytton meets his old friend Hamil, who seems to be involved in a shady deal with an MP called Westaway. Soon Lytton gets involved and becomes the victim of blackmail.

Margot Shelley, a fading film star, has just published her autobiography. However, Neville Lytton is more interested in the memoirs of starlet Solveig Lindstrom.

Whilst visiting his wife Catherine, Lytton is told of strange goings-on at the house of Lord Rimmer. He uncovers a plot to create a right-wing political movement and exposes the story in his paper.
