PRAISE FOR THE VINYL DETECTIVE "Hilarious and thrilling." -- Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series. "Cartmel has a gift for bringing you into his characters' world and making you want to stay there which simply makes this a joy to read." -- Blue Book Balloon Review "Cartmel is getting a great tune out of the characters... Will have you chuckling out loud." -- SFBook Review "Character is what Cartmel does well... An entertaining detective story with a slightly different vibe." -- The Dreamcage Review "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 "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." Booklist (starred review), "The Vinyl Detective goes Scandi Noir? Yes please!" -- Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series.

Synopsis
The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of death metal in his sixth adventure. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more. It starts with a perfectly normal evening in, except for the corpse-faced gentleman dressed all in black, with a crow on his shoulder, staring into the house, of course. And the visit from Owyn Wynter, head of Whyte Ravyn Records, who needs the Detective's unique skills. So begins an all-expenses-paid trip to Trollesko, Sweden for the Detective, Nevada, Tinkler and Agatha to track down a copy of the debut album from demonic metal legends, Storm Dream Troopers. Condemned by the church and banned on release, Attack and Decay is a legendary record. But their trip to the homelands of Nordic noir is quickly thrust into a world of intrigue as the Detective closes in on the deal, the band unexpectedly converge on the peaceful town, And worse, their trip somehow coincides with a visit from Stinky Stanmer... Soon the bodies start piling up, and the Vinyl Detective is the only one who can solve the case.
