The Vinyl Detective - Flip Back by Andrew Cartmel
Narrowly avoiding a killing spree, negotiating deranged Black Dog fans, and being pursued by hack journalist Stinky Stamner and his camera crew, they discover that perhaps all was not as it seemed on Holy Island - and that in the embers of that fire are clues of a motive for murder...
"An enthralling mystery with a wonderful gallery of grotesques" Ben Aaronovitch "One of the most innovative concepts in crime fiction for many years. Once you are hooked into the world of the Vinyl Detective it is very difficult to leave." Nev Fountain PRAISE FOR THE VINYL DETECTIVE "Like an old 45rpm record, this book crackles with brilliance." David Quantick "This tale of crime, cats and rock & roll unfolds with an authentic sense of the music scene then and now - and a mystery that will keep you guessing." Stephen Gallagher "An irresistible blend of murder, mystery and music... our protagonist seeks to find the rarest of records - and incidentally solve a murder, right a great historical injustice and, if he's very lucky, avoid dying in the process." Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London "The Vinyl Detective is one of the sharpest and most original characters I've seen for a long time." David Quantick, Emmy Award-winning producer of VEEP "Crime fiction as it should be, played loud through a valve amp and Quad speakers. No digital writing here, it's warm and rich. Every delicate pop and crackle adding character and flavour. Witty, charming and filled with exciting solos. Quite simply: groovy." Guy Adams, critically acclaimed author of The Clown Service "marvelously inventive and endlessly fascinating" Publishers Weekly "This charming mystery feels as companionable as a leisurely afternoon trawling the vintage shops with a good friend."
