London, 1947: it's freezing winter in the shabby, bomb-damaged city.
Young socialite Dinah Wentworth, a bright, innocent newcomer to the
Fitzrovia scene, becomes embroiled in a dark scandal when she
discovers the corpse of surrealist artist Titus Mavor. Not wanting to
explain her reasons for being at Mavor's flat that evening, she
decides against reporting her grim discovery to the police.
But her silence has terrible consequences. Dinah's husband's friend,
Colin Harris, is linked to the crime and arrested on suspicion of
murder. Dinah realises someone is trying to frame him and knows she
must uncover the real villain before Harris is hanged.
Set against the background of the Cold War, post-war shortages, and
the struggling British film industry, Elizabeth Wilson's elegant noir
vividly evokes the fashions and politics of a bohemian community
flourishing in defiance of austerity. _The Twilight Hour_ is a
riveting thriller with a corkscrew twist.
