Summary

Hollywood actress Jeanette Marchand was beautiful, talented, beloved by audiences. During a time of personal crisis, she declares she is going to take a vacation in England, to explore the possibilities of working in London, before returning to the USA.

She never returned to the USA. She never even left the airport. At least - no-one saw her leave.

Years later, a young film student finds himself digging deeper into her disappearance. Where did she go? Was she really dead? Who was the mysterious man who sat beside her on the flight across from New York?

This is a gripping speculative historical novel, grounded in the golden age of film. Perfect for fans of true crime, conspiracy theories, and SF that is chillingly close to reality.

Marvellous tale, historically insightful

This is the third novel by Priest that I have read, and he is rapidly becoming one of my favourite authors. This is a particularly intriguing mystery tale full of memorable characters, strange tangents and a masterful insight into film history. I will be looking out for many of the films mentioned here, and my next listen will certainly be by the same author.

Good listen

I bought this thinking it was a Sci-Fi book - it's not. It is though an interesting book - I like his writing style - thank you CP for introducing me to the works of Jacques Tati - and the short "picture story" film La Jette - The story was OK the characters were very good - will definitely check out some more CP stuff.
