SNOW HILL

Book ID/图书代码： 03540009B32687

English Summary/英文概要： In the London of 1936, a man would rather die than admit his own homosexuality.

How, then, do you investigate the murders of gay men in an underworld that doesn’t officially exist?

London. A copper with a secret. Unrequited love. Sexual confusion. Murder.

John Steadman, court reporter for The News, opens this gripping debut novel with the line "I went to my funeral this morning". His faked death is the only way he can really find out who killed a policeman at the Snow Hill station.

Johnny, hungry for a story to get him off court reporting , stumbles into a world of murdered rent boys, corrupt policemen and a dark underbelly of 30s London.

As fresh and dark as Jake Arnott, Mark’s debut novel will deliver a new voice to upmarket crime.

Based on a true story, (around Smithfield, “Snow Hill” became a slang term for “queer” after stories started to leak), this utterly convincing crime novel (the beginning of a series for John Steadman), has some great action set pieces and wonderful colour to bring Fleet Street of 1936 truly alive.
