The Gilded Edge

London 1965 – and murder is on the cards . . .

It’s the Swinging Sixties but not all barriers have come down – the aristocrats and financial power players still gather around the exclusive gaming tables of the Montcler Club in Berkeley Square while the rest slum it in the underground ska clubs and illicit drinking dens in Notting Hill.

And it’s against this background of London society and villainy that detective Vince Treadwell is investigating the seemingly unrelated murders of a young black woman in Notting Hill and that of blue-blooded Johnny Beresford in Belgravia. As Vince digs deeper he finds himself embroiled in a secret world of debauchery and corruption, where the underworld happily mixes with the aristocracy, and where no one remains an innocent victim.
