Baroness Clara Linz is beautiful, glamorous, worldly, and alluring. She is the articulate and well-traveled owner and sole proprietor of Advice, Limited, a consulting detective agency located on Adam Street in London. She is known to and consulted by prime ministers, retired generals, and the Bank of England itself. By the end of her series of stories she has been wooed by and agreed to marry the Spanish nobleman Roderigo de Partegena de Cervera y Topete, and she gives up her agency for him.
