Description
London in the 1920s: a powerful, atmospheric and emotional novel with a charismatic, but flawed heroine trying to find her place in the world.
Against a backdrop of thuggish blackmail, constricting high society and the glitter of London recovering from the First World War, Edie Greenlaw is trying to work out what she wants from the world. The closer the prospect of marriage with her handsome war hero fiancé becomes, the less fulfilling it seems. Defying caution, she goes to the aid of a friend and entangles herself in a dangerous demi-monde of sexual extortion and violence.

'So versatile - Quinn seems to reinvent himself with every book' Jonathan Coe
'A witty and erudite writer' Alexander Larman, The Critic
