The Ingenious Miss Sly

London 1962. Vivien Sly, overlooked engineer in a prosthetics factory, is fixated on her new colleague Marnie Laverne who has everything Viv wants. Talent, recognition, adulation. But in order to attain them, first Viv needs Marnie. When she persuades Marnie to move into her Bayswater flat she doesn’t expect her to come with an agenda of her own. What began as fixation becomes obsession, what began as dangerous becomes deadly.

Set in London in 1962, The Ingenious Miss Sly is the new chilling psychological thriller from Penny Hancock.
