Oxford, 1963. In a dimly lit backstreet club, the crowd dances the night away to their favourite band’s infectious rhythm. But behind the music, trouble is brewing. Bandmates clash, two possessive girlfriends plot their next move, and the club manager pockets profits on the sly. Then, a tragic accident claims the life of the lead singer.

But was it truly an accident? Coroner Clement Ryder is suspicious. WPC Trudy Loveday realises there’s only one way to uncover the truth – going undercover into the shadowy depths of Oxford’s nightlife.

Meanwhile, Clement’s own secret is becoming increasingly difficult to keep hidden. And when the truth about the singer’s death finally comes to light, it might not be the only shock in store for Trudy…

A gripping, twisty cosy crime novel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.
