1968 London; DS Cathal Breen has been called out to investigate the death of a young
woman. Her body was found in a trash heap behind a tower of flats, not
far from Abbey Road. Could she have been a fan of the Beatles?
The day after, Breen is put in charge of a new female temporary DC.
Breen doesn’t know how to handle women, especially DC Tozer. When a
suspect is brought in, Breen is surprised at his confession, but it is
not the confession he was hoping for.
Tozer gets a break when she discovers a name at the EMI Studio, which
houses the Beatles fan club. Tozer and Breen head off to the country to
speak to the parents of the victim. The day after they return to the
parents only to find that the wife has killed her husband. She has
escaped in their Jaguar.
More death will ensue as Breen and Tozer pursue the killer. Together
they manage to connect all the dots, but it results in danger. Author
William Shaw’s murder mystery starts off slowly, but leads on to plenty
of action. A very good read. I’m looking forward to reading the
sequels.
