A story of class and corruption, sex and the Sixties, for fans of A
Very English Scandal and The Trial of Christine Keeler Nik felt the
mistake in his bones. The man in the snakeskin suit reached down
towards him and pulled Nik upright by the collar of his coat. Nik
didn't see what happened next but he felt the wall. He cried out
and then someone hit him and he closed his eyes and waited for it
to be over. London. 1967. Nik Christou has been a rent boy since he
was 15. He knows the ins and outs of Piccadilly Circus, how to spot
a pretty policeman and to interpret a fleeting glance. One summer
night his life is turned upside down, first by violence and then by
an accusation of murder. Anna Treadway, fleeing the ghosts of her
past, works as a dresser in Soho's Galaxy theatre. She has learned
never to place too much trust in the long arm of the law and,
convinced Nik is innocent she determines to find him an alibi.
Merrian Wallis, devoted wife to an MP with a tarnished reputation,
just wants proof that her husband couldn't have been involved. But
how do you recognise the truth when everyone around you is playing
a role - and when any spark of scandal is quickly snuffed out by
those with power? As Anna searches for clues amongst a cast of MPs,
actors, members of gentlemen's clubs and a hundred different
nightly clients, will anyone be willing to come forward and save
Nik from his fate?
