A song from dead lips

"London, 1968: The body of a teenage girl is found just steps away from the Beatles' Abbey Road recording studio. The police are called to a residential street in St John's Wood where an unidentified young woman has been strangled. Detective Sergeant Cathal Breen believes she may be one of the many Beatles fans who regularly camp outside Abbey Road Studios. With his reputation tarnished by an inexplicable act of cowardice, this is Breen's last chance to prove he's up to the job. Breen is of the generation for whom reaching adulthood meant turning into one's parents and accepting one's place in the world. But the world around him is changing beyond recognition. Nothing illustrates the shift more than Helen Tozer, a brazen and rambunctious young policewoman assisting him with the case. Together they navigate a world on edge, where conservative tradition gives way to frightening new freedoms--and troubling new crimes"--

  • "La quatrième de couverture indique : "Londres, 1968, quartier d'Abbey Road. Le corps nu d'une jeune femme est retrouvé sous un matelas. En charge de l'enquête, le détective Cathal Breen pense à une des fans des Beatles qui campent près du célèbre studio. Après avoir terni sa réputation par un inexplicable acte de lâcheté, Breen sait que cette affaire est son unique chance de sauver sa carrière. Mais ce vieux garçon, encore sous le choc de la mort de son père, va devoir faire face à une société en pleine mutation qui le dépasse. Et personne n'incarne mieux cette nouvelle réalité que la jeune inspectrice chargée de l'assister.""
  • "Londres, 1968. Le détective Cathal Breen, assisté d'une inspectrice novice, enquête sur l'assassinat d'une jeune femme dans le quartier d'Abbey Road. Le duo est loin de s'imaginer qu'il va se retrouver plongé dans le milieu de la corruption et du trafic d'armes.--[Memento]."
  • "London, October 1968. 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. Detective 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. When 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. Following 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. The 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."@en
