A gripping crime novel inspired by the "Jack the Stripper" killings in
1960s London.
Bad Penny Blues is the latest gripping crime fiction from Cathi
Unsworth, London's undisputed queen of noir. Set in late 1950s and early
1960s London, it is loosely based on the West London "Jack the Stripper"
killings that rocked the city. The narrative follows police officer Pete
Bradley, who investigates the serial killings of a series of
prostitutes, and, in a parallel story, Stella, part of the art and
fashion worlds of 1960s "Swinging London," who is haunted by visions of
the murdered women.
