Description
In 1950s England, a debutante disappears from a Soho jazz club, pulling a pair of sleuths into a seedy underworld, in this "series that deserves a long run" (Booklist).
In the years following World War II, former Secret Service employee Mirabelle Bevan can't seem to resist an attraction to danger and a thirst for justice . . .
The mysterious disappearance of eighteen-year-old debutante Rose Bellamy Gore, last seen outside a Soho jazz club in the company of a saxophone player named Lindon Claremont, has the London tabloids in a frenzy. When Lindon turns up in Brighton desperately seeking help, Mirabelle counsels him to cooperate with the authorities. But after the local police take the musician into custody and ship him off to Scotland Yard, Mirabelle and her best friend, Vesta Churchill, decide to take matters into their own hands.
After hopping a train to London, Mirabelle and Vesta scour smoky jazz clubs searching for clues to the deb's disappearance. What they find is a sinister underworld where the price of admission can be one's life. Mirabelle will need to draw on her espionage skills to improvise her way out of a disappearing act of her own . . .

Set in 1952, Sheridan’s satisfying second Mirabelle Bevan mystery (after 2016’s Brighton Belle) opens with the disappearance of debutante Rose Bellamy Gore, who was last seen at a London jazz club in the company of saxophonist Lindon Claremont. Lindon, a childhood friend of Vesta Churchill, Mirabelle’s partner in the debt collection agency that the pair run in Brighton, calls at their office the day after Rose goes missing for advice. He agrees he should cooperate with the police, who regard him with extra suspicion because he’s black. Lindon returns to London, where he subsequently dies in police custody, an apparent suicide. Tough and glamorous Mirabelle, who worked for British intelligence during WWII, travels with Vesta to London, where she calls on police acquaintances and former war colleagues for clues; she also visits some jazz clubs. The story grows progressively darker as Sheridan delves into issues of race and class—not to mention loyalty and abuse of power—in this extraordinarily rich historical. Agent: Jenny Brown, Jenny Brown Associates (U.K.).
