The Devil in Amber
''The Devil in Amber'' is the second novel in a series featuring the fictional spy, Lucifer Box. It was published on 6 November 2006.
==Plot introduction==
It is twenty years after the events of the first Lucifer Box novel, ''The Vesuvius Club''. Box, portrait painter, wit, dandy, rake and occasional assassin for His Majesty's Government, has aged well despite the loss of his valet (and lover) Charlie Jackpot in undisclosed events related to First World War espionage in 1917.
The novel opens in New York in the 1920s. Threatened with retirement by his superiors after attending to a routine assassination that does not go smoothly, Box is assigned to investigate an Anglo-American fascist fraternity, FAUST (the Fascist Anglo-United States Tribune), and its sinister leader, Olympus Mons. Sal Volatile, an informant, assists him and provides intriguing hints at some wider, dire threat to the world presented by the organisation's interest in the occult, but is soon murdered and Box is framed for the crime.
On the run and hunted by his own organisation, Box is left with little choice but to follow the trail Sal Volatile has shown him, even if it leads to the Devil himself.
