Riassunto

Liverpool DJ Johnny Ace finds himself sitting on a potential goldmine when he, by accident, buys a tape containing unreleased songs performed by John Lennon. However, his excitement soon fades when he finds out that the previous owner's house has been violently ransacked. As Johnny investigates his first two cases at the newly opened Ace Investigations office, the shocking discovery of a murdered body points him in the right direction. The unlucky victim is the tape's previous owner and it soon becomes apparent that the two cases are somehow linked by a very violent criminal. A criminal who could well be after him next...

'Very endearing. It fizzes with Liverpool atmosphere and wit and is packed full of compelling characters' Big Issue in the North
