WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU READ A NAIL-BITINGLY TENSE BRITISH NOIR?

He's been threatened, beaten and broken - but still he doesn't regret meeting the actress who disappeared...

Michael, a young film journalist, is sent to interview the reclusive movie star Diana Christmas. Twenty years prior, the red-headed starlet suddenly abandoned her career, leaving her fans shocked and a whiff of scandal. Their attraction is instant. Between the sheets, Diana tells him of the blackmail and betrayal which drove her away. And how - even now - she's being tormented by underworld figures.

Emboldened, Michael sets out on a mission to track down a compromising roll of film. Soon he's tangling with aged pimps, teenage thugs and a film director intent on turning real life into one of his own lurid thrillers. But ahead lies even deadlier peril.

Can Michael save Diana from her past? Or will the secrets which crushed her life destroy them both?

Diana Christmas: Blackmail, Death and a British Film Star is a must-read for all fans of hard-boiled crime and film noir. If you love the thrillers of Megan Abbott, Guy Bolton and James Ellroy, then you'll adore Diana Christmas!
