  The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of Italian movie soundtrack music in his eighth adventure that is sure to delight those who love whimsical British cosy crime. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more. 
   
  Some of the greatest (and grooviest) music ever committed to vinyl has come out of Italy. 
   
  And some of the greatest music to come out of Italy is the rich diversity of soundtracks composed for the indigenous film industry – particularly for gruesome thrillers known as ‘gialli’. The maestros who composed for these include Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni, Armand Trovajoli… 
   
  And Valerius Passeri. 
   
  He was one of the finest composers of this genre and his original LPs from his 1960s heyday fetch a fortune from collectors. 
   
  No one disputes that Passeri was a genius… 
   
  The argument is whether or not he was a murderer. 
   
  Passeri’s mistress was killed in London in the 1960s while he was here on location for a film shoot. There was never enough hard evidence to lead to a prosecution but the stink of scandal has never gone away. 
   
  Passeri’s granddaughter Chloe has come to England to hire the Vinyl Detective. She wants him to negotiate for a collection of her father’s LPs. The mastertapes of the albums have been destroyed and she needs immaculate vinyl copies to provide the source for a series of reissues – Chloe’s mission is to preserve her grandfather’s heritage. 
   
  And also, it transpires, to clear his name. 
   
  So it turns out that the Vinyl Detective’s real job will be to find out who actually committed a murder – over half a century ago, in Swinging London. 
   
  But the real killer is not enchanted with the notion of being exposed. And, having killed once before, they see no problem in doing so again.

  Three gripping time-travel tales of love and murder… 
  BEFORE THE KILLING: After 19-year-old Cassie returns home from her first year away at college, her boyfriend, Julian, is implicated in a brutal killing. Seven years later, a freak occurrence gives Cassie a unique time-traveling ability, allowing her to re-live that earlier time with the benefit of foreknowledge. But in witnessing the truth, she inadvertently reveals herself to the killer, who pursues her in past and present both. “Once I started I couldn’t put it down!” -Bookshelf Adventures 
  BEFORE SHE WAS TAKEN: 25-year-old Rebecca Danser's life is a mess ever since she was six and her younger sister Sadie disappeared on her watch. But then she realizes the time-traveling ability she recently gained can be used to discover who took Sadie that fateful day. What she learns leads her into a remote forest in the Sierra Mountains, where the monster responsible for the destruction of her family lies in wait for her. "A cleverly plotted fantasy thriller with a strong cast of characters." -The Wishing Shelf Book Award 
  BEFORE HE VANISHED: Still troubled by the growing sense that she should be using her unique ability to save others who've gone missing, Rebecca takes up the case of a Black-American boy who vanished a year ago. Frustrated that police and media have made little effort to find 13-year-old Ethan Pitt or publicize his disappearance, she jumps back in time to discover what really happened. But Rebecca puts her past and present at great risk as she narrows down the suspects and infiltrates the lair of the ruthless manipulator most likely responsible for Ethan's vanishing. “Mystery fans will love this plot device, which takes a straightforward whodunit to an otherworldly level." -The BookLife Prize 
  "(Benedict's) prose is crisp and purposeful, charged with feeling, and always attuned to what will engage readers in each moment." (The BookLife Prize)
