His loose draperies all fell off him, and, as they were in the very act of falling, there issued ... a monstrous creature of the beetle type' Eminent politician Paul Lessingham is the toast of Westminster, but when 'the Beetle' arrives from Egypt to hunt him down, the dark and gruesome secret that haunts him is dragged into the light.
