Right now, he is finally producing his US debut with Cup Town, a brilliantly composed audiobook revolving round the magic and mystery lurking in London.
Almost always there is been magic inside our world
We just had a need to know where you can look for it
In 1924, two brothers both adored Eleanor Raines, a appealing young actress through the about Cup Town East End of London. She disappeared during the filming of Alfred Hitchcock’s debut, Number 13, which itself is currently lost. It was the crime of the age, capturing the creativity of the city: the beautiful actress never seen again, as well as the gangster who disappeared the same time.
Generations have handed. Everyone involved is usually long lifeless. But nonetheless their dark, twisted top secret threatens to rip the city apart.
Joshua Raines is going to enter an environment of macabre beauty, of glittering celluloid and the silver screen, of illusion and deception, of impossibly old gangsters and the fiendish animals they command, & most frighteningly of all, of genuine magic.
He is about to enter Glass Town.
The generations-old obsession with Eleanor Raines’s unsolved case is going to become his obsession, passed down father-to-son through his bloodline like some unwanted inheritance. But 1st he must bury his grandfather and absorb the implications from the confession in his hands, a letter from one of the brothers, Isaiah, claiming to have observed the missing celebrity. The woman in the red outfit hadn’t aged each day, regardless of that it was 1994 and she’d been gone seventy years.
Longer buried secrets cannot stay secrets forever. Hidden areas cannot stay hidden forever.
The magic that damaged one of the most brutal families in London’s dark history is finally declining, and Joshua Raines is going to discover that everything he dared imagine, everything he has ever feared, is looking forward to him in Glass Town.
