While investigating crimes on both sides of the Atlantic, the urbane detective encounters beautiful and conniving women, menacing men, jewel thieves, pickpockets, ex-Nazis, rich debutantes, spoiled heirs, kleptomaniac mothers, small town gossips, a fake Yogi named "The Great You," his recurring nemesis — the Mangler — and more than a murder or two. Meanwhile, the tension builds in his love triangle with Honey Dorian and Pagan Lee.
