Hollywood glitz and glamour comes to Kedleston Hall

“The scotch has run dry, and so has my caseload. The crime rate of this city is through the roof, but no one has walked through my door. Something stinks. The rich get richer; the poor get screwed. As with everything, it all starts and ends with money. So tonight I’m going where the cats get their groove on, the jazz is loud, the dames friendly; where the liquor runs free, but it all leaves a bitter aftertaste.”
