Beschreibung

December, 1940. The area around St Paul's Cathedral suffers a devastating air raid and the heart of British book publishing burns to the ground. Detective Inspector John Jago must break bad news to a woman sitting in the ruins of her business: her husband has been found murdered at their home in Soho. An antiquarian bookseller, he had just acquired a mysterious, and now missing, volume. Did someone covet it enough to kill for it?


Unscrupulous dealers haunt Jago's descent into Soho's underworld, where criminals are branching out in the shadows of the blackout.

    Ambitious advice columnist Ginny Dugan knows she's capable of more than solving other people's beauty problems, but her boss at Photoplay magazine thinks she's only fit for fluff pieces. When she witnesses the kidnapping of a famous singer at Harlem's hottest speakeasy, nobody takes her seriously, but Ginny knows what she saw—and what she saw haunts her. 
     
     
     
    Guilt-ridden over her failure to stop the kidnappers and hard-pressed for cash to finally move out of her uptight showgirl sister's apartment, Ginny resolves to chase down the truth that will clear her conscience and maybe win her a promotion in the process. She manipulates a brooding detective into a reluctant partnership and together they uncover a sinister plot that pulls them into the dazzling yet dangerous world of the Ziegfeld Follies. Meanwhile, Ginny grapples with a secret of her own—she's fallen for Gloria Gardner, the star of the show. In the Roaring Twenties, their love isn't just scandalous; it's illegal. 
     
     
     
    But when a brutal murder strikes someone close to her, Ginny realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. This glamorous world has a deadly edge, and Ginny must shatter her every illusion to catch the shadowy killer before they strike again.

    Hawk, dissolute advertising creative wunderkind, is given the project that might just save his career, rescue him from debt, and put him on the fast track back to human dignity. All he has to do is create the brand for FOCXI, a new crypto start-up, and help launch it to the world. But the deeper he gets, the more Hawk has to wonder: is anything in the cryptoverse for real? 
    And, who’s killing his staff? 
    This darkly comic novel takes you inside a world where greed, gullibility, and graft intersect.
