WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK !!!
I saw this about 20 years ago in a bookstore, but never bought it. I read only a few pages.
I thought at the time the setting was Roaring Twenties US or maybe UK. Although, it could've also been before WW1. The dandy MC is wealthy and runs some sort of criminal empire. He lives in an opulent mansion where his servants are topless women.
In a scene I remember, he's abducted a police investigator that's become a nuisance. The investigator is curled up on the floor in a working suit one would expect of the time period. He may have slid down a ramp through a trap door. He looks like he's been worked over, so is in no condition to fight.
One of the topless servants presents the dandy with a covered silver platter. She opens it for him, revealing a gun resting on a silk doily. The dandy takes the gun. His last words to the investigator are of a refined supervillain - something like, "Murder is best when chilled to perfection."
