This late novel of E. Phillips Oppenheim begins as the "Train Bleu" pulls into the railroad station in Monaco. It's a leisurely spy fiction tale set in Monaco as various members of aristocracy from different countries plus one vacationing American woman find themselves involved with international intrigue.
