The Blue Evening Gone - Jessica Stirling

THE BLUE EVENING GONE

The years have taken the Beckman family far from the Lambeth slum world of their father Leo.

Holly – left a widow at the death of Christopher – is married now to Kennedy King, her partner in the art business.

Her brother Ritchie has made his own career in the art world – specialising in the forgery branch of the trade – and growing ever more jealous of his wife Ruth.

Maury, now a wealthy builder, is still a bachelor and still the trusted and despised older brother.

But as the skies grow once more dark with war clouds, the Beckmans are swept into family turmoil. Criminal dealings and illicit passion will threaten all they have won from the struggling years.
