Sex, drugs, cinema and stardom in a glorious technicolor romp through London's Swinging Sixties.

'Powered by a satisfactorily pacy plot and oiled by Quinn's effortless prose, this is a book that slips down as easily as a gin-and-it' Guardian

Summer, 1967. As London shimmers in a heat haze and swoons to the sound of Sergeant Pepper, a mystery film - Eureka - is being shot by German wunderkind Reiner Werther Kloss.

The screenwriter, Nat Fane, would do anything for a hit but can't see straight for all the acid he's dropping. Fledgling actress Billie Cantrip is hoping for her big break but can't find a way out of her troubled relationship with an older man. And journalist Freya Wyley wants to know why so much of what Kloss touches turns to ash in his wake.

Anmeldelser av Eureka:

. In the various layers of a slick, enjoyable plot, the glossy surface finish never distracting from the messiness beneath, art reflects life and also reflects itself. There is wit and entertainment aplenty. What brings it all delightfully together is Quinn.s flawless, easy-going prose. He never once puts a foot wrong. Clever, certainly, but in just the right measure. . Peter Stanford, Observer
. Quinn.s prose is elegant and his eye for the evocative details of social history acute as he chronicles the pleasures and perils inherent in Nat.s pursuit of love and art. . Nick Rennis, Sunday Times
. Anthony Quinn.s growing series of period novels about London life is fast becoming one of contemporary fictions most dependable pleasures. Quinn offers sexual intrigue and a class-crossing mystery plot straddling the glitzy and grimy, all told with a rampantly infectious sense of fun. . Anthony Cummins, Metro
. Powered by a satisfactorily pacy plot and oiled by Quinn.s effortless prose, this is a book that slips down as easily as a gin-and-it, but larger questions lurk beneath its polished surface. Eureka. is in glorious Technicolor. . Clare Clark, Guardian
. Quinn.s immersive approach to his historical fiction means we.re soon woozy with the sounds and sights of that significant year when the Beatles changed music history, homosexuality was decriminalised and cinema was playing with our minds. . Siobhain Murphy, The Times
