Hunted
He was the thirteenth baronet, the ultimate English gentleman. He had everything money could buy and most of the things it couldn't.
He was also a compulsive gambler with debts of £70,000 and no more credit. He had a broken marriage, a greedy mistress and a drink problem. The lucky lord was broke, the laughing-stock of London.
Then something gave inside his deep, savage pride drove him to break the shackles of tradition and step outside the law. Suddenly he was wanted for murder, on the run, running from the mangled corpse in the London mansion, running from the crushing vortex of a vicious conspiracy, running for his life...

Jeremy Scott is a penname for Kay Dick. The book's title is really "Hunted." (no "the")
This book was written in 1981. The writing is spectacular. Really.
the descriptions are unbelievable, about both place and emotions.
I was enthralled for 2/3 of the book. Couldn't wait to get back to it.
But alas, the last third, following Nigel around in his travails, which of
course we knew he'd get out of, was tiresome, especially for an ending that didn't pay off.
Very disappointing.
