When the impeccably dressed and endlessly articulate Psmith accompanies his friend Mike Jackson to New York on a cricket tour, he soon decides that the city needs a little excitement. An encounter with journalist Billy Windsor leads him to Cosy Moments, a sleepy magazine devoted to harmless domestic interests. With its editor temporarily absent, Psmith helps transform the publication into a fearless crusader against corrupt landlords and the appalling conditions of the city's tenements. Their campaign brings them into conflict with gangsters, crooked politicians, and dangerous enemies, while a promising young boxer and a cat-loving gang leader become unlikely allies. Full of sharp wit, improbable adventures, and Psmith's unshakable composure, this classic comic novel is ideal for readers who enjoy clever dialogue, eccentric characters, social satire, and humor in the face of danger.
