Instead, shes stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho and her married lover has just left her. She has nothing to look forward to until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York.
After a murder at the club, the timing couldnt be better, and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. Until death follows her onto the ship, and she realises that her greatest performance has already begun. Because someone is making manoeuvres behind the scenes, and theres only one thing on their mind…

‘An engrossing read, Guardian.
