The Vinyl Detective - Victory Disc (Vinyl Detective 3) Summary

The Vinyl Detective - Victory Disc (Vinyl Detective 3) by Andrew Cartmel

The third book in the hilarious and enthralling Vinyl Detective mystery series. Like an old 45rpm record, this book crackles with brilliance. David Quantick on Written in Dead Wax.

When one of his cats accidentally discovers a rare Victory Disc, the Vinyl Detective and his girlfriend Nevada are whisked into the world of big band swing music, and a mystery that began during the Second World War.

Hired to track down the rest of the highly sought-after recordings of the Flare Path Orchestra, our hero will discover that the battles of the last world war aren't over yet. And if all this sounds simple, it's only because we haven't mentioned drive-by shootings, murderous neo-Nazis, or that slight case of being buried alive...

The Vinyl Detective - Victory Disc (Vinyl Detective 3) Reviews

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.
