The new and unusual case for Detectives Brock and Poole - One Saturday night, a masked gunman walks into a jazz club and murders the drummer. Very soon, Detective Chief Inspector Brock and Detective Sergeant Poole find themselves taking an interest in the guests at a party in Surrey's stockbroker belt, which leads them to look again at a five-year-old robbery and to interview a dozen or so armed robbers. The killer is eventually arrested, but not before numerous extra-marital affairs come to light and a bullion van is attacked...

Editorial reviews

The sixth installment of Graham Ison's Brock and Poole Mystery series finds the two detectives investigating the murder of jazz drummer Rod Skinner, who was gunned down at a popular, crowded nightclub. With so many witnesses - and suspects - present at the time of the shooting, Brock and Poole find themselves in the middle of a true head-scratcher that unveils a seemingly endless amount of lurid details that only muddle the case even further. Drumfire is an entertaining corker that is given a lightness of touch by Damian Lynch, who imbues the rollicking plot with a wonderfully sly wit.

Recently read a review on a facebook British mystery group recommending this author.. I took a chance and I am currently working through the entire series available on Audible. Years ago I read all the 87th Precinct books. This series reminds me of that line of writing. Five stars for entertainment value. Worth a credit.

Very good police procedural

It all started with a new part-time drummer with a local band getting shot by a masked man in the middle of a set in a crowded upscale venue. Then it turned into an old case with a stoolie who turned in evidence against his cronies. AND THEN there's the attempted heist of bullion from a bank, and more.
Very enjoyable.
Narration by Damian Lynch was very Jack Webb/Joe Friday, and that's a good thing!

Good read!
