Sex, drugs, cinema and stardom in a glorious technicolor romp through London's Swinging Sixties.

Powered by a satisfactorily pacy plot and oiled by Quinn's effortless prose, this is a book that slips down as easily as a gin-and-it - Guardian.

Summer, 1967. As London shimmers in a heat haze and swoons to the sound of Sergeant Pepper, a mystery film—Eureka—is being shot by German wunderkind Reiner Werther Kloss.

The screenwriter, Nat Fane, would do anything for a hit but can't see straight for all the acid he's dropping. Fledgling actress Billie Cantrip is hoping for her big break but can't find a way out of her troubled relationship with an older man. And journalist Freya Wyley wants to know why so much of what Kloss touches turns to ash in his wake.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

In Eureka, Anthony Quinn crafts a vivid portrayal of 1960s London, where layers in a slick plot and effortless prose reveal both glamour and grit beneath. The novel is celebrated for its wit, rich characterisation, and an immersive dive into historical details, akin to the style of Evelyn Waugh. Critics praise Quinn's ability to blend entertainment with thoughtful undercurrents, providing an evocative and entertaining read set against the kaleidoscope of Swinging London.
