Part whodunit, part portrayal of 1960s London, A Little London Scandal tells the story of Nik Christou, a rent boy in London who has his life turned upside down by an accusation of murder. His friend and confidante Anna Treadway believes he is innocent and is determined to find him an alibi. The book explores themes of establishment, corruption, sex and secrecy, and when the brief came to us I knew it was one I wanted to work on.
