The Vinyl Detective – Noise Floor: 7

The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of electronic dance music in his seventh adventure. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more. The Vinyl Detective enters the fraught and frenzied realm of electronic dance music. Lambert Ramkin aka Imperium Dart, techno trickster and ambient music wizard of the 1990s, has gone walkabout, disappearing from his rather palatial home in Kent. This isn’t the first time he’s pulled a vanishing act, but he’s never been gone so long before and his wife – wives, actually; it’s complicated – are worried and hire the Vinyl Detective to find the old rascal. They theorise that wherever the missing man is, he won’t be able to resist turning up at a record fair somewhere in search of 12-inch white label acid house singles, which he collects compulsively. And no one knows the world of record fairs better than the Vinyl Detective. They’re not wrong… But once our hero finds the wandering Lamb the trouble really begins – including terrifying mind-fucks with a side order of, if things break the wrong way, mass murder. ‘Hilarious and thrilling.’ – Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series. —- ISBN: 9781803367965
