Made it in Balham is the sequel to my earlier work, Making it in Balham, although each may be read as a stand-alone story.It is now March 1960. Agnes, and her friend, Inga, share a prestigious apartment in Balham, South London. Previously, Inga worked as a cleaner at the apartment that was rented to a spy who was exposed by the pair. Due to a complex legal delay following his arrest, they manage to remain at the flat and are not asked to pay any rent for a year. Now, time is running out and they discover that the rent will take most of their combined wages. Agnes finds that once more she becomes involved with a criminal and considers starting a detective agency. Later that year, she cannot believe her luck to be invited to a royal wedding, but for her this momentous occasion does not go according to plan.
