As Beatles fans encamp outside Abbey Road Studios up the road, the Marylebone CID is as much an old boys' club as it ever was: comfortably sexist, racially prejudiced and crawling with corruption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetective Sergeant Cathal Breen is the pariah of the office, having just run out on a fellow officer held at knifepoint, when it's shaken up by the arrival of WPC Helen Tozer: awkward chatterbox, farmgirl, and the first woman to enter the murder unit - apart from the secretary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a young woman is found naked and strangled in well-to-do St John's Wood, her identity is a mystery. The neighbours offer nothing but xenophobic suspicions, witnesses are staying silent; only Tozer's savvy gives Breen a lead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing it, resourceless, deep into the rural backwaters, Breen sees one dead body lead to another - a trail of bloodshed taking them dangerously close to a killer with everything to lose. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first in a trilogy featuring DS Breen and WPC Tozer, set against a clashing backdrop of sixties idealism and a corrupted CID on the brink of exposure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781782064176\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43383225450559,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/13342383482822.jpg?v=1781223161","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/a-song-from-dead-lips-by-william-shaw","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
