A Song from Dead Lips

London, 1968. The police are called to a residential street in St John’s Wood where, hidden under a mattress, lies the naked body of a murdered young woman. The victim has no identification but Detective Sergeant Cathal Breen believes she may be one of the many Beatles fans who regularly camp outside Abbey Road Studios.

Swinging London is in full swing, and the youth of the nation are embracing a freedom of which their parents daren't have dreamt. No one embodies this new sensibility more than Tozer, the female policewoman assigned to help Breen with the case.

With his reputation tarnished by an inexplicable act of cowardice and still recovering from the death of his father, Breen knows that this case is his last chance to prove he is up to the job.
