About this audiobook
Actual events during the Cold War inspired this thriller that takes place in a suburb of London during the autumn and winter of 1960-1961. Loyalty, duty and friendship collide when the Jacksons slowly discover the Krogers, their neighbors and cherished friends, are not what they appear. A gripping play that may leave you wondering exactly what it is those nice people next door are really up to.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Rosalind Ayres, Martin Jarvis, Megan Austin Oberle, Roxanne Hart, Sione Owen, Julian Sands and David Selby.
