You can escape a place. But you can't escape yourself. Hanna flees the scene of a terrible crime in her native Sligo. If she can just vanish, re-invent herself under a new name, perhaps the police won't catch up with her. London seems the perfect place to disappear. Lara has always loved Matthew and imagined happy married life in Dublin. Then comes the bombshell – Matthew says he wants to join the priesthood. Humiliated and broken-hearted, Lara heads to the most godless place she can find, King's Road, Chelsea. Matthew's twin sister, Noreen, could not be more different from her brother. She does love fiance John, but she also craves sex, parties and fun. Swinging London has it all, but without John, Noreen is about to get way out of her depth. All three girls find themselves working for Bobby Chevron – one of London's most feared gangland bosses – and it's not long before their new lives start to unravel.
The Face
It was a beautiful late April day in 1968. She had decided to take her baby for a stroll. She sat on the park bench, checked her watch, and looked skyward, squinting into the sun, trying to make out the dark falling object that appeared, as if someone had dropped a sack of sand from the clouds. Oh, my GodIts a person! A person soon to be found dead in the courtyard of the 6-floor Kensington Towers and identified as 25-year old Jane Louise Ladd, a lifelong London resident and current fashion model, known as The Face, during a time that defined a generation. Travel back in time, to the era known as Swinging Britain, and learn what happened. Did Jane jump? Was it an accident? Was it foul play?
