The second book in the Vince Treadwell series, The Gilded Edge follows the straight-laced yet ambitious and handsome Detective Vince Treadwell. He is sent to investigate the seemingly unrelated murders of a playboy aristocrat from Belgravia and a young black nurse from the wrong side of town. We follow Treadwell to the illegal drinking dens of Notting Hill run by self-styled Black Power leader, Michael X; the nightclubs of Soho owned by the legendary gangster, Billy Hill; and the exclusive gaming tables of the Montcler Club in Berkeley Square, where the blue-bloods and power players of England gamble thousands on their turn of a card. But as Vince Treadwell digs deeper he finds himself not only embroiled with a beautiful society girl, Isabel Saxmore-Blaine, but a world of espionage and corruption where the underworld mixes easily with the aristocracy, and no one is innocent.

Autumn 1933, and for once struggling writer James Ross seems to have fallen on his feet. Not only has the Labour Exchange fixed him up with a day-job collecting rents in Soho, but friendly Mr Samuelson is employing him front-of-house in the Toreador nightclub. Even his melancholy love-life is looking up, thanks to a chance encounter with the alluring Gladys, enigmatic inhabitant of the Meard Street second-floor back.
On the other hand, Soho looks an increasingly dangerous place in which to be at large. Not only are the Mosley's Blackshirts on the prowl, but somebody is raiding the dirty bookshops and smashing nightclub windows in a quest for moral decency. Fetched up in a police cell in West End Central after and unfortunate incident outside the Toreador, and coerced into undercover work by the mysterious Inspector Haversham, James finds himself infiltrating the Blackshirt's Chelsea HQ.

Jake Haggar, barely six years old has been kidnapped by his father who is threatening to sell the boy to a child trafficking ring. Carlyle has to get him back. It's not his case but it is his problem- it was his fault Jake was taken in the first place.
Meanwhile, Carlyle has his own caseload to deal with including the murder of Agatha Mills. Her husband, Henry has been arrested for her murder but his explanation is so outlandish that Carlyle wonders if it may just be true. Agatha is the sister of William Pettigrew, a priest killed in Chile during the fascist coup in 1973 and after 30 years of campaigning, and was about to see his killer brought to justice.

Carlyle is also asked to help television reporter Rosanna Snowdon, who fears she is being stalked by a demented fan.
