Murder and scandal in the heat of 1950s Las Vegas: can Lily Jones stop a murder that happened before she was born?

Lily Jones can’t forget her incredible time-slip adventure back to the Golden Age of Hollywood and the friends she made there—especially a handsome barman by the name of Louis, with whom she felt such a strong connection.

Back in 2020, life isn’t going so well for her, and Lily is idly googling when she is horrified to discover that Evelyn, Louis's ex-girlfriend, is brutally murdered in 1953.

She is compelled to go back to the 1950s and try to save Evelyn's life, but this time it isn’t just the gilded stars of Tinseltown she will have to contend with, but The Mob as she finds herself in the seedy glamour of Vegas and learns that Evelyn's future depends upon her first solving the murder of a Vegas showgirl.

Thankfully, she has Louis and his sister, Tilda, to help her, but her own life is in danger as she tries to find the killer and change Evelyn's fate. What will she risk to save a life?

A page-turning, inventive time-hop mystery perfect for fans of Stuart Turton and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
