Synopsis

1952, Brighton and London. When 17 year old debutante Rose Bellamy Gore goes missing in a seedy Soho jazz club the prime suspect is black saxophone player, Lindon Claremont, the last person to be seen talking to her. Under suspicion, Lindon heads straight for Brighton and his childhood friend, Vesta Churchill who works with ex-Secret Service office girl Mirabelle Bevan, now in charge of the McGuigan and McGuigan Debt Collection Agency. When Lindon is taken into custody the two women dive into London's underworld of smoky night clubs, smart cars and lethal cocktails to establish the truth.

Media Reviews
'A beguiling page-turner' - Good Book Guide 'We loved the first in this post WW2 series, Brighton Belle, and the second adventure is even better' - Lovereading 'A gripping, stylish narrative that helps reclaim the cosy murder mystery by consciously including the more uncomfortable aspects of society that it has always embodied under the surface' - Dundee University Review of the Arts 'A thoroughly readable mystery with an interesting backdrop' - The Rocker BlogSpot 'Atmospheric, fast paced and rich in detail of 1950s Brighton you can almost hear the jazz music and clinking of the cocktail glasses - A perfect book for all fans of a good old fashioned crime mystery' - Julie, Waterstones Lancaster
