About the book
The Vinyl Detective embarks on his sixth adventure into the realm of death metal. Get ready for a mix of humor, vinyl records, feline friends, and the reappearance of beloved characters like Nevada, Tinkler, and Stinky Stanmer.
It all kicks off on a seemingly ordinary evening, until a mysterious figure clad in black and resembling a corpse, accompanied by a crow, appears at the doorstep. And then Owyn Wynter from Whyte Ravyn Records shows up, seeking the Detective's expertise.
Thus commences a fully-funded journey to Trollesko, Sweden for the Vinyl Detective and his crew as they set out to procure a rare copy of Storm Dream Troopers' controversial debut album, Attack and Decay. Labelled as sacrilegious and forbidden upon release, this record is of immense significance.
However, their quest turns into a tangled web of secrets and surprises as the band descends upon the town just as the Detective nears the transaction. To make matters worse, the arrival of Stinky Stanmer overlaps with their visit. With bodies stacking up, it’s up to the Vinyl Detective to crack the case.
