Family secrets and a Victorian scandal grippingly combine in this page-turning mystery set in the seductive world of present-day burlesque

Lili Allure, the legendary burlesque artiste with her 19-inch waist and her porcelain skin, has left behind her East End childhood and her difficult mother. Busy bathing in giant champagne glasses and designing her own glamorous routines, she hasn't seen her family in years. But when Viv dies, the curtain is raised on Lili's past. Viv's last words were of secrets and mysterious yellow letters—and a Victorian scandal that has cast a shadow over the family for generations. As Lili hunts for the yellow letters, she begins to see and hear things that can't be real. It almost feels like Viv is haunting her. Is grief making Lili lose her grip on reality, or are her family secrets more sinister than she ever imagined?
