Description

Charles London, middle aged actor turned amateur sleuth, is travelling in a small English seaside community. Irresistibly attracted to something theatrical, Charles attempts amusement in the nearby music area and continues a number of not-so-fantastic vaudeville acts in the trust the guy offered star payment is likely to be worth viewing. Nevertheless when Statement Peaky comes on stage together with his guitar and grasps the microphone, he immediately dead, evidently because of defective wiring of the stage equipment.It appears like an accident, but Charles isn't so certain, and begins to discover more concerning the people in another acts on the bill: Janine, the very ballerina who vanishes; Chox Morton, seedy and unnecessarily anxious; and Lennie Barber, an one time celebrity comic attempting to create a return. The more Charles investigates, the more suspects arrive.
