'I recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because he was such a wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today. All his novels are terrific' Sarah Waters 'If you were looking to fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just one overnight stop, then Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby Patrick Hamilton's novels were the inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production, The Midnight Bell. The Midnight Bell, a pub on the Euston Road, is the pulse of this brilliant and compassionate trilogy. It is here where the barman, Bob, falls in love with Jenny, a West End prostitute who comes in off the streets for a gin and pep. Around his obsessions, and Ella the barmaid's secret love for him, swirls the sleazy life of London in the 1930s. This is a world where people emerge from cheap lodgings in Pimlico to pour out their passions, hopes and despair in pubs and bars - a world of twenty thousand streets full of cruelty and kindness, comedy and pathos, wasted dreams and lost desires.

Time was when London was a great city. People from all over the world flocked to live here. They came from every part of the country. They came from Europe. From Africa. From Asia. They came from the far corners of the world. By boat and plane. In cars and on foot. They took jobs, found love, brought their kids up. They lived in safety. Most of them. They made the city great. Made it a beacon of light in a new world. Time was when, in summer, you could walk through the streets and smell a thousand smells, taste the food on the air. When you could see the smiles and the happiness on the faces of the people who made their lives here. You could go wherever you wanted. Do whatever you liked. It was a great city. A magnet. A symbol. The thing about time is, it ticks and it tocks, and before you know it there isn't as much left as you thought. The seconds pass, the minutes and the hours. Days become weeks and years rush past like water flowing down a mountainside, towards the sea. Change comes. Change came. The kind of change no one wants, except for a few. Bad things made themselves a part of our world, and London wasn't great anymore. It wasn't anything except a memory. And they don't like memories here these days. When summer rolls up, when the sun shines on the city, the only thing you smell is decay. The only place you can go is your own Grid. The only thing you can think is how hungry you are and what's going to happen to your family if you can't find enough food to feed them. So sometimes, when I haven't got much left, I just find a dark little corner somewhere. There's enough of them these days. And I sit there. Sit with my eyes tight shut. And I think about what we had. Take myself back there. Go and live in another place. The place I knew. The place I loved. And after a while, something brings me back. A sound, usually. I open my eyes, slowly. Open them and hope. Hope that I've remembered the past so well that it's returned. But it never has. And the clock keeps ticking. London is dead. A new London lives. A city ruled by John Bull, the king of London and the Protector of Free Men. What you knew is no more. The familiar is strange and the creeping threat of John Bull's grip hangs over all who live within the boundaries of his power. The Centre. The Grids. His dominion. His city. His words wrapping themselves around you, as he invites you to join him in the resurrection of the metropolis, as he gives you no choice but to follow his orders. Orders delivered through the tentacles of control that reach out across the broken boroughs and crumbling streets of this once great city. Stampers. Threadneedles. Black Cabs. The Cult of the Grids. His tools of control. Four young friends - Hector, Cesar, Kemi and Molly - trying to find their way as best they can in a Grid they have no choice but to call home. Their lives shaped beneath the hard, worn boot of John Bull's rule. Shaped in the shadowed eyes of the Stampers. In a city where Brocks hide in plain sight, waiting to whisper your secrets to the enemy. In this city, silence is the path to safety. But the voice of youth can only be denied for so long. And the words of love demand to be said. All that is solid yields to ash. And yet, that which cannot crumble soldiers on. Hope, love, justice. Hector, Cesar, Kemi and Molly must make their choices. They must decide whose side they are on. And they must choose whether to kneel at the feet of John Bull, or whether to fight for a city that is free. The London Trilogy follows the story of four young friends as their lives spiral out of control in John Bull's London. A city you thought you knew, ruled by a man who knows you better than you know yourself. The Centre is waiting for you. The Grids are waiting for you. John Bull is waiting for you. And he knows you will have to pick a side ...

Love is hottest in the darkness before dawn. Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man? Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he’s tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society’s most harmless—and idiotic—bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they’re not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon—and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives—can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won’t be denied?

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2008 "Ravishingly sinful, intelligent and addictive. An amazing debut."— Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author For ten years, Lord and Lady Tremaine have kept the width of the Atlantic Ocean between them. It is an arrangement much lauded by London Society: What a perfectly civilized way to conduct a marriage! But it wasn't always that way. When Gigi Rowland first met Camden Saybrook, the handsome, candid, intelligent future duke was the answer to all her problems. Their connection was immediate--two young people meant for each other. But their marriage was doomed the moment she decided she must have him, by fair means or foul, and when Camden discovered her deceit, all happiness perished. Now Gigi wants a divorce. Camden returns from America with an audacious proposal: give him an heir and he'll grant her request. But the overwhelming pleasure of their marriage bed soon makes it apparent that the enterprise is fraught with emotional peril. In an atmosphere thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, they must decide between safeguarding their hearts or rising above the mistakes of the past and forging a new life together. This tale of estranged lovers reuniting under the most strenuous of circumstances will sweep you away to the energy and opulence of late Victorian England and Gilded Age New York.
