The Novel of the Story of Creeping Jazz

An unlikely team investigate a string of sinister murders. The only consistent detail? The killer wears a beret and is always accompanied by their own soundtrack—a slow, slinking tune that has been coined, The Creeping Jazz. Some say it’s cursed. Others say it’s catchy but everyone agrees it’s terrifying. The team must go up against a killer who can strike anywhere throughout time and make people dance to death.

In their way will be an unreliable narrator, a Welsh busybody, the magic of hip-hop and the horror of never having enough stationary.

For Dale Allen, a radio presenter with a low chat show survival rate, this is his breakthrough interview, with a band pushing a dangerous cultural phenomenon.

For Lead Detective Michaels, it’s the case that could finally earn him that long-overdue promotion, assuming he can survive his meeting with the notorious surgeon and serial killer, Dr Karlous Kennedious.

And for Charlie Blunderwedge, ex-erotic novelist turned reluctant consultant, it’s a chance to move away from writing naughty titivation and enter the big league of police procedure true crime fiction.

Somewhere in the fogbound city, the truth waits in the shadows—wearing a beret and humming a tune that makes your bones itch.

Unravel the mystery and try not to dance to The Creeping Jazz.
