Publisher's Synopsis
Johnny Ace, part-time radio DJ and full-time landlord, is also Liverpool's freshest private eye, so when the body of ageing singing star Bradley Hope is found floating in the Mersey, Johnny can't help getting involved. It soon becomes clear that there is more to Bradley's death than his lifestyle of drink, drugs and debauchery - his father, Bert, is convinced Bradley was being blackmailed. When Bert is found beaten to death, Johnny's desperate search for the truth - and the murderer - leads him down a path of ever-increasing danger to a destination of violence and revenge.
