When the corpse of a Glam Rock guitarist is found hanged by his own fishnet tights, the rock music scene of 1980s London is thrown into panic. As the murders continue, Glam Rock superstar, Stan Buttershaw, recruits a trash music pop journalist, a freelance physicist and a small scruffy dog to try to find the assassin before the assassin finds Stan…
Welcome to the Glittering 1980s. The music is great. The people look fabulous. And even murderers have a sense of style.
The Glam Assassin is a comedy crime novel that pits 1970s rockers against 1980s Blitz Kids. It’s written by Huw Collingbourne – a 1980s music journalist for such eminent journals as Flexipop!, Number 1 and Jackie. He was there, and he lived to tell the tale. Not everyone was so lucky!
The Glam Assassin is the second in a series of ‘1980s Murder Mysteries’ which brings to life the dazzling music and clubbing scene of London in the early ’80s.
