Summary

London, July 1946. A woman's body is found in a disused bomb site off the Holloway Road. In this deeply evocative crime drama, Sian Busby strips away the veneer of stoicism and respectability in post-war Britain to reveal a society riven with disillusionment and loss. A murder story set in London in 1946, which gradually peels away the veneer of stoicism and respectibility to reveal the dark truths at the heart of post-war austerity Britain. Busby, the author of the award-winning memoir }The Cruel Mother{, and wife of BBC Business Editor Robert Peston, died in September 2012. 'It is a fitting monument to a writer of rare subtelty' }Mail On Sunday{
