Description
On a sultry afternoon in the summer of 1936 a young woman is witness to an attempted murder in a London hotel room.
Nina, a West End actress, faces a dilemma: she shouldn't have been at the hotel in the first place, and certainly not with a married man. But once it becomes apparent that she has seen the face of the man the newspapers have dubbed ‘the Tie-Pin Killer’ she realises that unless she acts quickly, more women will die...
From the glittering murk of Soho’s underworld, to the grease paint and ghost-lights of theatreland, Curtain Call is a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss.

Advance Praise
Praise for The Streets:
'Ambitious, gripping and disturbingly well done.'
Kate Saunders, The Times
'Quinn’s
most mature novel yet… His picture of poverty’s shaming, dehumanizing
effect is powerful, and the recurrent call for pity heartfelt. Ms Eliot
and Mr Dickens would surely approve.'
Holly Kyte, Sunday Telegraph
'Cements his reputation as an accomplished and challenging novelist… Though it takes place 130 years ago, the questions that The Streets poses about how, as a society and individuals, we tackle deprivation arguably remain just as pertinent.'
Peter Stanford, Independent
