Two Tones of Murder cover

From the internationally bestselling author of the Dales Detectives series, Julia Chapman, comes a vibrant new mystery featuring a mismatched detective duo.

There’s danger at the bus depot . . .


Coventry bus driver Errol Dexter finds himself in the crosshairs of the Serious Crime Squad as the prime suspect when one of his colleagues is found dead.

Luckily for him, the man he rescued from a gang of skinheads the previous day turns out to be a Private Detective and he’s more than happy to return the favour by taking on the case to find the real killer.

But his new champion, Finn McNulty, has troubles of his own. The two must gather an array of allies to solve the case before they both find themselves behind bars . . .

Infused with the spirit of 2Tone music, Two Tones of Murder is the first instalment in the Two-Tone Detectives series of gripping mysteries set in 1970s Coventry.
