When he is not writing, Stephen is a fan of all jazz, in particular Artie Shaw and John Coltrane, and he has been addicted to classical music for decades.
Will the forbidden fruits of their labours come to light?
As the end of the Second World War nears its close, a tense mood surrounds Leeds. Karel Letnov faces the noose at the Leeds assizes. Accused of a string of suspicious killings in the peaceful village of Forley, a war-ravaged community contemplates its future.
Clara nursed Karel back to health following the evacuations from Dunkirk at the start of hostilities. So when her husband, Tom, is found murdered, rumours of a secret relationship abound.
Alyse Rose, a singer with Ken Kershaw's dance band, becomes enraptured by the case when it is revealed that Kershaw and Karel were perhaps more than friends.
