They range from desperate male & female aristocrats, struggling frenziedly to retain their power and money, to hordes of sly, ice-hard usurers, pimps and blackmailers. The never-ending battle between these two groups is fought out in luxurious palaces, in squalid lodging houses, and cafés filled with the thick stench of "burned meat, restaurant napkins, and tobacco...
