About this ebook

The instant Sunday Times bestseller. 'A deftly-written whodunnit' Jennie Godfrey

There's a killer on the airwaves... and they're calling for you.

Darkness looms over sunny Sidmouth, when an unsolved murder comes to the attention of late-night radio talk show host Edward Temmis.

Recently sacked from his beloved job, Edward meets Stevie, whose grandmother died in a suspicious fire. Well, nobody hurts his listeners and helping Stevie might just give him the purpose he needs.

Reinvigorated, Edward joins forces with Stevie and his old fling, Kim, only to uncover a sinister plot.

Can they get to the bottom of this mystery before it’s too late?

Dreadful. The main character is obnoxious, a self pitying narcissist who is a local radio dj. Very poorly written throughout.

In his spare time, he rides a penny farthing.
