Book Synopsis

On a busy Friday night in 1964, a woman''s partially clothed body is discovered in London''s Soho Square. She has been raped and strangled. With no one reported missing, her identity remains a mystery. Assuming the victim to be a prostitute, DCI Jackson is inclined to dismiss the case. Detective Sergeant Harry Barnard disagrees.

Harry''s partner Kate meanwhile has been despatched to her native Liverpool to work on a magazine feature about the city''s remarkable regeneration, timed to coincide with the release of the Beatles'' movie, A Hard Day''s Night.

As Harry''s investigations point to evidence of a cover-up at the highest level, Kate''s assignment leads her to uncover a darker side to 1960s'' Liverpool - and a possible link to the Soho murder victim. Are she and Harry getting into something too deep and dangerous for them to handle?
