    About this ebook

    The chance discovery of a 30-year-old porn film leads back to the film's maker, Tim Purdom, and the London of the late 50s and early 60s. Purdom was a pioneer of the British blue movie as well as a figure on the periphery of the Profumo sex scandal. He directed8 films—but who was directing him, and what was their hidden agenda? And where is Tim now? London Blues is aprovocative, totally original crime novel. For more than two decades, Anthony Frewin was assistant film director to Stanley Kubrick.

      Anthony Frewin excels himself again with the visceral, meaty thriller set in 1960s London. Like his other books, it oozes atmosphere, with razor-sharp dialogue, believable characters and a setting which, despite being a ‘character’ in hundreds of other books, takes on a life all of its own. The backdrop of the porn industry in the 60s is well-realised, and the tense plotting never lets you forget that this is a real page-turning thriller. Frewin ratchets up the tension as the book progresses, and as a reader I was only left with disappointment that I had reached the end of the book. It’s such a shame that Frewin’s output has been so small over the years – he’s an excellent writer and I cannot recommend his book highly enough.
