Herioc dandy and hedonist, Lucifer Box, battles the evil minions of F.A.U.S.T and their demagogic (and demigodic, even) fascist leader Olympus Mons. Will Mons and his Amber shirts manage to get the devil on their side? Or can Box (far from an angel himself) make Beelzebub dance to his jig?

'The Vesuvius Club' was an enjoyable read and I was pleased to find that Gatiss had written a sequel called 'The Devil In Amber'.
