A companion to 91955 Little London Scandal, we taken back a couple of years to Soho in 1965. How do you find a missing actress in a city where everyone's playing a role? In a tiny two-bed flat above a Turkish café on Neal Street lives Anna Treadway, a young dresser at the Galaxy Theatre. When the American actress Iolanthe Green disappears after an evening's performance at the Galaxy, the newspapers are wild with speculation about her fate. But as the news grows old and the case grows colder, it seems Anna is the only person left determined to find out the truth. Her search will take her into an England she did not know existed, of jazz clubs and prison cells, backstreet doctors and seaside ghost towns, where her carefully calibrated existence will be upended by violence but also perhaps by love. A fabulous depiction of a London where the Swinging Sixties hides a darker and more complicated story of prejudice and struggle, expertly evoked by the acclaimed playwright. 290pp, paperback.
