On a sultry afternoon in the summer of 1936 a woman accidentally interrupts an attempted murder in a London hotel room. Nina L&, a West End actress, faces a dilemma: she`s not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, & certainly not with a married man. But once it becomes apparent that she may have seen the face of the man the newspapers have dubbed `the Tie-Pin Killer` she realises that another woman`s life could be at stake. Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who fears that his star is fading: age & drink are catching up with him, & in his late-night escapades with young men he walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has depended for years on his loyal & long suffering secretary Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom`s chance encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lost young woman haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle: it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer`s stranglehold that afternoon, & now walks the streets in terror of his finding her again. Curtain Call is a comedy of manners, & a tragedy of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho`s demi-monde to the grease paint & ghost-lights of theatrel&, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, tawdry hotels & drag balls towards a denouement in which two women are stalked by the same killer. As bracing as a cold Martini & as bright as a new tie-pin, it is a poignant & gripping story about love & death & a society dancing towards the abyss. ...

Curry; A Biography

This imaginative book tells the history of India and its rulers through their food. It follows the story of curry as it spread from the courts of Delhi to the balti houses of Birmingham. Curry is the product of India`s long history of invasion. In the wake of the Mughal conquerors, an army of cooks brought Persian recipes to northern India; in the south, Portugese spice merchants introduced vinegar marinades and the chillies they had recently discovered in the New World; the British soon followed, with their passion for roast meat accompanied by cauliflowers and beans. When these new ingredients were mixed with native spices, they produced those disinctly Inidan dishes. Curry tells the story of an array of familar Indian dishes and the people who invented, discovered, cooked and ate
them. Teeming with colourful characters, rich in anecdote and meticulously researched, Curry is vivid, entertaining and delicious.
