What comes next?

Although I'm not sure of the association between the gibbon and lah.

Wikipedia sorted it out for me:

"The lar gibbon (Hylobates lar), also known as the white-handed gibbon"

It appears as though @Matty01 knows the answer? I have no clue!

On second thought, Hannibal by Thomas Harris?

Didn’t have friends around for dinner tonight and the bevy of choice was Mariage Frères Earl Grey- conviviality and Chianti will have to wait for the weekend

Not easy indeed.

All I have is:

Tracks/trax etc
Hamburg (Hamburglar less ER) - Burgl - to Rob
Ratingen (rat engine?) - Inn
Davidson (Plums minus plums)
😕


Thinking caps on crew.

Edit: Some pointers from Matty set me on a different track 😁.
Still puzzled though. It's a good one.

OK, so I tidy up my clues based on recent intelligence 😉.

Too late for a place though.

That’s a mighty fine start

Tracks/trax etc- yep
Hamburg (Hamburger less ER) partially right
Ratingen (rat engine?) right town, but it’s more about the building wherein Cromwell is alleged to have visited
Davidson (Plums minus plums) yep

Okay! But please explain how the clues point to the names of the book and the author! Doesn’t make any sense to me.
