* * * The drinks are flowing. The music is playing. But the party canât last.
With the Blitz over and London reeling from war, jazz musician Lawrie Matthews has answered Englandâs call for help. Fresh off the Empire Windrush, heâs taken a tiny room in south London lodgings, and has fallen in love with the girl next door. Lawrie has poured his heart into his new home â and itâs alive with possibility. Until, one morning, he makes a terrible discovery.
As the local community rallies, fingers of blame are pointed at those who had recently been welcomed with open arms. And, before long, the newest arrivals become the prime suspects in a tragedy which threatens to tear the city apart.
Atmospheric, poignant and compelling, Louise Hareâs debut shows that new arrivals have always been the prime suspects. But, also, that there is always hope. * * *
