Overview
Humorous cosy-crime caper from the author of the beloved, bestselling Vinyl Detective series in which a feisty, amoral book dealer uses her unique skills to solve fiendish crimes, A love letter to Agatha Christie murder mysteries and classic whodunnits.
When Erik Make Loud, retired rock star and a major World War Two nut, hires Cordelia, the Paperback Sleuth, to track down a series of lurid paperbacks about his favourite global conflict--the "Commando" novels by the blatantly pseudonymous Butch Raider--it seems like a routine job. But Cordelia soon discovers the final novel in the series, the incredibly rare Commando Gold, is all but impossible to track down.
The books' creator--real name Monty Harrington, once a promising young poet and now a depraved drunk--proves easier to find. Writing pulp war stories didn't come naturally to Monty. Until he met someone who knew all about such stuff during a pub crawl; a genuine ex-commando who, for the price of a pint or two, was willing to provide Monty with authentic anecdotes.
Too authentic, it turns out...
Because Commando Gold reveals the details of a real-life commando mission.
At the time the mission was top secret.
And all these years later, someone is quite prepared to kill to keep it so.
