New Audio Tape - ISIS (2002)
Buy at ISIS A Little Death
London, 1955. Three bodies are found in a house but when the police search for the murder weapon, vital evidence has been destroyed. One of the victims is former society beauty Georgina Gresham, prime suspect in the notorious murder of her husband, James, almost thirty years earlier. Beside her lie the bodies of her brother Edmund and housekeeper Ada.
But there is a link with the past. In the 1890s three children played together in a beautiful garden. Their lives were secure, their future certain - until the youngest child was found with fatal head injuries . . .
‘Time past evoked so strongly you can taste it. Intelligent, absorbing and highly accomplished.’ Literary Review Anna Bentinck has made over 800 broadcasts for BBC radio. Her animation voice work includes the series 64 Zoo Lane, while on TV she has played Mary Dickens in Charles Dickens and Mary Rutherford in the Marie Curie series. On film she has been seen in The Trojan Women, Alice in Wonderland and To the Devil a Daughter.

Audio Tape ISIS (2002)
Buy at ISIS Dying Voices
It was a media circus of the sort that only the British tabloids can create: the kidnapping of beautiful Susan Blackstock by a radical group - and the refusal of her multimillionaire husband to pay the £10 million ransom. Eight-year-old Dodie Blackstock never saw her mother again.
Now twenty-nine, Dodie has struggled for two decades to step out from the shadows of past tragedy and her father’s wealth. But a visit from two policemen changes everything. They bring the news she has waited for years to hear, yet it is completely unexpected. Susan Blackstock’s body has finally been found - and she has been dead only forty-eight hours.
‘Wilson has an ear for dialogue and a gift for creating believable characters. This is real class.’ The Sunday Telegraph Lucy Scott trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Her theatre work includes Emma at the Tricycle Theatre, Fanny Price in Mansfield Park and Sybil in Private Lives. She had toured the country playing Anita in Quartermaine’s Terms and her television work includes Hearts & Bones, Sunny’s Ears and Charlotte Lucas in the BBC series Pride and Prejudice.
