The Novel of the Story of Creeping Jazz
A fantasy crime comedy, drenched in noir, nightmares, and nonsense.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.

When elderly Clarissa Morden is found strangled in the locked garden of historic Bishop Hewick Hall in Yorkshire, DCI Jim Oldroyd needs to solve a seemingly impossible murder. The only door was bolted from the inside, the kitchen garden walls are too high to climb, and there is no sign of how the killer escaped. If no one could enter or leave, how did the killer commit the crime and escape?

In this puzzling case, Oldroyd must unravel not only how the culprit vanished from a locked garden, but also which of Clarissa’s blackmail victims was driven to stop her. The tranquil beauty of Bishop Hewick conceals deadly secrets—and someone is willing to kill again to keep theirs hidden…
