A novel by Peter Bartram
The Tango School Mystery: A Crampton of the Chronicle comic crime adventure
Welcome to Brighton, England - where they do like to murder beside the seaside...
Want to know what it's like when a quiet romantic dinner ends in murder?
Ace reporter Colin Crampton and his feisty girlfriend Shirley Goldsmith are tucking into their meal when Shirley discovers more blood on her rare steak than she'd expected.
And once again Colin is on the trail of a big story that can only end in more murder. Colin reckons he's cracked the story when he uncovers a plot involving a sinister figure from the past. A Tango Academy seems to lie at the heart of the conspiracy.
But nothing is quite what it seems as Colin peels away the layers of the mystery. He tangles with a cast of memorable characters including a professor of witchcraft, the former commander of an army mobile latrine unit, and a tango instructor with two left feet.
Join Colin and Shirley for another madcap mystery in Swinging Sixties' Brighton, where the laughs are never far from the action.
