Publisher's Synopsis
His first adventure consisted of the search for a rare record; his second begins with the discovery of one. When a mint copy of the final album by 'Valerian' - England's great lost rock band of the 1960s - surfaces in a charity shop, all hell breaks loose. Finding this record triggers a chain of events culminating in our hero learning the true fate of the singer Valerian, who died under equivocal circumstances just after - or was it just before? - the abduction of her two-year-old son. Along the way, the Vinyl Detective finds himself marked for death, at the wrong end of a shotgun, and unknowingly dosed with LSD as a prelude to being burned alive. And then there's the grave robbing. But he does find out what happened to the missing child, and it wasn't what anyone expected - or wanted - to hear.
