About this book

Simon de Gex, a wealthy and successful MP, is diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to use his last few months using his wealth and influence to do good. In particular, he determines to guide his protégé and friend, Dale, away from an unfortunate relationship with Lola Brandt, a lady with an unsuitably colourful background. The book follows what happens to Simon in his quest – and also what further happens when an operation unexpectedly restores his health. (Summary by Simon Evers)
