17th May 2012
Price: £7.99
It’s the Swinging Sixties but not all barriers have come down – the aristocrats and financial power players still gather around the exclusive gaming tables of the Montcler Club in Berkeley Square while the rest slum it in the underground ska clubs and elicit drinking dens in Notting Hill.
And it’s against this background of London society and villainy that detective Vince Treadwell enters when investigating the seemingly unrelated murder of a young black woman in Notting Hill and blue-blooded Johnny Beresford in Belgravia. As Vince digs deeper he finds himself embroiled in a secret world of debauchery and corruption, where the underworld happily mixes with the aristocracy, and where no one remains an innocent victim.

Reviews
A novel that has its own distinct (and highly enjoyable) identity.
Miller ably handles all the plot strands while showing us an unknown London.
A dark and involving story of misplaced passion and menace
A fiendishly complex plot
