Further adventures with The Merry Millionaire. (The Merry Millionaire Duology) by J.A. Wells


Played against a backdrop of spy-ridden Egypt, pre war England, abdicating Kings and unexpected coronations, we continue to share further travel adventures with our intrepid explorers, Ron and Mervyn, as they discover far more than simply the mysteries of the orient. After a venturesome jaunt up the Nile, back in Cairo, Ron and Mervyn return to Shepheard's Hotel, where the fascinating Lee Miller has invaded the Long Bar. A flamboyant party at Baron Empain's Palais Hindu serves to whet their appetites for the supernatural. Then joining the luxury ship that will take them home, they rub shoulders with Egyptian royalty, learning more than they should regarding the secrets of the palace. Using newly found entrepreneurial skills, Ron organises an on board concert, Mervyn's angelic voice and good looks stealing the show. Ghosts are on the agenda once more at an overnight stay at London's Great Western Hotel. What may become of the pairing of Ron and Mervyn, poles apart in age and class, yet similar in inclination?
