Today, he is finally producing his US debut with Cup City, a brilliantly constructed audiobook revolving throughout the magic and secret lurking in London.

There’s always been magic in our world

We just had a need to know where you can look for it

In 1924, two brothers both adored Eleanor Raines, a encouraging young actress in the about Glass Town East End of London. She vanished during the filming of Alfred Hitchcock’s debut, Amount 13, which itself is currently lost. It had been the criminal offense of the age, capturing the imagination of the city: the beautiful actress never noticed again, as well as the gangster who vanished the same day.

Generations have approved. Everyone involved can be long deceased. But nonetheless their dark, twisted key threatens to tear the city apart.

Joshua Raines is going to enter an environment of macabre beauty, of glittering celluloid as well as the big screen, of illusion and deception, of impossibly old gangsters and the fiendish creatures they command, & most frighteningly of most, 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 first 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 actress. The woman in the red dress hadn’t aged per day, no matter that it had been 1994 and she’d been eliminated seventy years.

Very long buried secrets cannot stay secrets permanently. Hidden places cannot stay concealed forever.

The magic that damaged probably one of the most brutal families in London’s dark history is finally failing, and Joshua Raines is about to find that everything he dared imagine, everything he has ever feared, is looking forward to him in Cup Town.
