**THE THRILLING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** 'If only all history
mysteries could be as good as The Midnight Hour' The Times An old
man lies dead and it looks like poison, but his wife isn't the only
one who had reason to kill him. Brighton, 1965 When theatrical
impresario Bert Billington is found dead in his retirement home, no
one suspects foul play. But when the postmortem reveals that he was
poisoned, suspicion falls on his wife, eccentric ex-Music Hall star
Verity Malone. Frustrated by the police response to Bert's death
and determined to prove her innocence, Verity calls in private
detective duo Emma Holmes and Sam Collins. This is their first real
case, but as luck would have it they have a friend on the inside:
Max Mephisto is filming a remake of Dracula, starring Seth
Billington, Bert's son. But when they question Max, they feel he
isn't telling them the whole story. Emma and Sam must vie with the
police to untangle the case and bring the killer to justice.
They're sure the answers must lie in Bert's dark past and in the
glamorous, occasionally deadly, days of Music Hall. But the closer
they get to the truth, the more danger they find themselves in...
