Book description
As the 1920s roar around her, wild child Tilly Thompson is desperate
for adventure. She wishes she could travel the world like her friend
David Strickland, an engineer officer on the Aquitania, but, for now,
she must try to find her thrills closer to home. When Tilly hears a new
club, the Blue Pelican, has opened in Southampton, it's not long before
she's the star of the dance floor, kicking her heels up to the
Charleston. Flame-haired Tilly quickly attracts the attention of the
club's devastatingly handsome owner Eddie Chapman. She won't be warned
about Chapman's reputation, though - not while she's having the time of
her life. But that life is about to change dramatically as Tilly
stumbles upon a sinister trail of violence and crime. And it all seems
to lead to Eddie Chapman... June Tate was born in Southampton. After
leaving school she became a hairdresser and spent several years working
on cruise ships, first on the Queen Mary and then on the Mauritania,
meeting many Hollywood film stars and VIPs on her travels. After her
marriage to an airline pilot, she lived in Sussex and Hampshire before
moving to Estoril in Portugal. June, who has two adult daughters, now
lives in Sussex.
