'A wonderfully sharp and stylish walk down these mean streets.
Jacey reinvents classic noir with wit, panache and real heart.' -
Jake Arnott, Author, The Long Firm and The Fatal Tree
'Elvira Slate is everything we need in a female sleuth, an outsider
with nothing to lose and a nose for the truth. She's a beacon of
light in a shoddy and corrupt world.'
- Sarah Gavron, Director, Suffragette and Rocks
'In Elvira Slate, Helen Jacey has created a slick 40s sleuth that
could inspire the toughest 21st century feminist, and a
binge-worthy box set of the highest order!'
- Celia Walden, US Editor-at-Large, The Daily Telegraph
'Elvira Slate navigates the criminal underworld of forties
Hollywood according to her own moral compass. Full of a fiery
ferociousness first developed as a kid surviving as an orphan in
London, entrenched during her years as a gangster's moll, and
perfected during a stint in Holloway prison - she is the noir
anti-heroine we've long been missing.' - Savannah James-Bayly,
Associate Producer, Queens of Mystery
'In Elvira Slate, a fierce female ex-con with an attraction to
trouble and nothing to lose, Jacey has created a criminally
compelling character I'd follow anywhere - at a safe distance.' -
Jennifer Steil, Journalist and Author of The Ambassador's Wife
