PIECE OF MY HEART by Peter Robinson - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Peter Robinson.As volunteers clean up after a huge outdoor rock festival in Yorkshire in 1969, they discover the body of a young woman wrapped in a sleeping bag. She has been brutally murdered. The detective assigned to the case, Stanley Chadwick, is a hard-headed, straitlaced former soldier and veteran of the Second World War. He could not have less in common with, or less regard for, young, disrespectful, long-haired hippies, smoking marijuana and listening to the pulsing sounds of rock and roll. But he has a murder to solve, and it looks as if the victim was somehow associated with the up-and-coming psychedelic pastoral band the Mad Hatters.
Thirty-five years later, Inspector Alan Banks is investigating the murder of a freelance music journalist who was working on a feature about the Mad Hatters for MOJO magazine. Aging rock superstars, the Mad Hatters have once again been brushed by tragedy. Banks finds he has to delve into the past to find out exactly what hornet's nest the journalist inadvertently stirred up.
