Before his departure for Japan, John’s training in Marallon’s business activities takes him to Beauregard House, a residential hotel in London’s West End, close to the Lancaster Gate. There, he crosses paths with a pretty, photographic fashion model who has been hired to help launch a new line of cosmetics; an American nuclear physicist considering a new research opportunity in the Middle East; a TV voice-over actor looking for romance; and a few other colorful and interesting people.Destiny awaits them all in Beauregard House at London’s Lancaster Gate.John becomes involved in the tangled affairs of Madeline Claiborne, a professional model preparing to model Marallon’s newest products at London’s major department stores.
