Theatre of Marvels (Broché)

Behind the spectacle there are always secrets. Unruly crowds descend on Crillick's Variety Theatre. Zillah, a Black and British actress raised in the slums of St Giles, is headlining tonight. Rising up the echelons of society is everything Zillah has ever dreamed of. But when a new stage act disappears, Zillah is haunted by a feeling that something is amiss. Is the woman in danger ? Her pursuit of the truth takes her into the underbelly of the city - from gaslit streets to the sumptuous parlours of Mayfair - as she seeks the help of notorious criminals from her past and finds herself torn between two powerful admirers.
Caught in a labyrinth of dangerous truths, will Zillah face ruin - or will she be the maker of her fate ?
