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 Sohos underworld, to the grease paint and ghost-lights of theatreland,Curtain Callis a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss.
