Official synopsis Publisher
“The chance discovery of a thirty-year-old blue movie leads back to the film’s maker, Tim Purdom, and the London of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Purdom was a pioneer of the black-and-white British porno film and a figure on the periphery of the Profumo sex scandal. He directed nine films … but who was directing him and what was their hidden agenda? And where is Tim now?”–BOOK JACKET. “London Blues explicitly and unremittingly details the hidden world of Soho vice and London’s demi-monde at the time when the grey 1950s were giving way to the ‘swinging’ sixties. It is a venture into the secret history of our time – a provocative and totally original novel.”–BOOK JACKET.
