Synopsis: Photographer Kate O&’Donnell, fresh from her adventures in Death Trap, discovers that modeling can be murder in Swinging Sixties London. It&’s 1963. A new band called the Rolling Stones is beginning to make its mark and the miniskirt is coming into fashion. For young Liverpudlian photographer Kate O&’Donnell, it&’s an exciting time to be in the capital—especially as she&’s on secondment to an up-and-coming fashion photographer&’s studio. But there&’s a sordid side to 1960s London, Kate discovers, when the naked, battered body of a teenage prostitute is found amongst the rubbish bins behind a Soho jazz club—and it turns out the victim was a former model at the studio where Kate&’s working. When a second young model disappears, Kate enlists her friend DS Harry Barnard&’s help to find out exactly what&’s going on. Together, they uncover the first of several dark secrets surrounding Andrei Lubin&’s fashion studio and the notorious Jazz Cellar. &“A likable heroine, an unusual plot, and plenty of unexpected twists make for an intriguing read.&” —Booklist &“Hall does a fine job of creating a groundbreaking protagonist whose fearlessness coupled with her talent forges a path for future female professionals.&” —Library Journal
