Synopsis: [From the back cover:] "Is 67 Clarges Street the unluckiest house in Mayfair? Every Season, the fashionable set of the Regency hire houses in the heart of London's popular West End, and yet 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, remains vacant year after year. Could it be tainted with ill luck? Something must be done so that the servants of this house don't lose their livelihood. Salvation seems to come in the form of Roderick Sinclair, who confirms he wishes to rent the house. The staff are overjoyed--until they discover that Mr Sinclair is a terrible miser who is planning no parties. Furthermore, his ward, Fiona, though a dazzling Highland beauty, appears to be somewhat empty-headed. But it is Rainbird, the clever and elegant butler, who sees through her facade and resolves to help his mysterious mistress in whatever way he can..."
