'A masterpiece.' * Michel Bussi, author of <i>After the Crash</i> * `An impeccable tale of posthumous detection encompassing a loving look into the minutiae of rock and the atmosphere and background of some of its golden years. Add to that an exemplary mystery plot and you have a potent combination.' * <i>Crime Time</i> * 'Engrossing... This best-selling Belgian thriller, which was short-listed for two literary awards, is a treat for fans of dark mysteries and unreliable narrators.' * <i>Library Journal</i> * 'Intricate... Those interested in last century's European rock scene will be enthralled.' * <i>Publishers Weekly</i> * 'A vivid and clever story that takes us back to the musical scene swinging Sixties, but has a deeper plot at its heart. Highly recommended.' * <i>Promoting Crime</i> * 'A wonderful thriller... I have no qualms about recommending this book to anyone.' * <i>Historical Novel Society</i>, Editor's Choice * 'A dark and disturbing thriller.' * Mystery & Detective Agency *
