About the book
Humorous cosy-crime caper from the author of the beloved, bestselling Vinyl Detective series in which a feisty, amoral book dealer uses her unique skills to solve fiendish crimes, A love letter to Agatha Christie murder mysteries and classic whodunnits.
When retired rock star and World War Two enthusiast Erik Make Loud hires Cordelia, the Paperback Sleuth, to find the Commando novels by Butch Raider, it seems like a simple task. However, Cordelia soon realizes that the final book in the series, Commando Gold, is extremely rare and difficult to locate.
The author of the books, Monty Harrington, is easier to track down. Once a promising poet, Monty turned to writing pulp war stories with the help of a former commando he met at a pub. However, the anecdotes provided by the ex-commando are more real than Monty could have imagined.
Commando Gold reveals the details of a real commando mission, which was once top secret. Now, years later, someone is willing to go to great lengths, even murder, to keep the mission classified.
