The Last Days of Leda Grey

During the heat wave of 1976 journalist Ed Peters finds an Edwardian photograph of a dark haired actress whose name was Leda Grey. He discovers Leda Grey is living still, in a decaying cliff-top house once shared with Charles Beauvois, a director of early silent film. As Beauvois's lover and muse, Leda often starred in scenes where stage magic and trick photography were used to astonishing effect. But, while playing a cursed Egyptian queen, the fantasies captured on celluloid were echoed in reality. A horrific accident left Leda abandoned for more than half a century - until Ed Peters finds her and hears her secrets.
