As volunteers clean up after a huge outdoor rock concert in Yorkshire in 1969, they discover the body of a young woman wrapped in a sleeping bag. She has been brutally murdered. The detective assigned to the case, Stanley Chadwick, is a hard-headed, strait-laced veteran of the Second World War. He could not have less in common with - or less regard for - young, disrespectful, long-haired hippies, smoking marijuana and listening to the pulsing sounds of rock and roll. But he has a murder to solve, and it looks as if the victim was somehow associated with the up-and-coming psychedelic pastoral band the Mad Hatters. In the present, Inspector Alan Banks is investigating the murder of a freelance music journalist who was working on a feature about the Mad Hatters for MOJO magazine. This is not the first time that the Mad Hatters, now aging rock superstars, have been brushed by tragedy. Banks finds he has to delve into the past to find out exactly what hornets' nest the journalist inadvertently stirred up.… (más)
Yorkshire, Inglaterra, verano de 1969. Al finalizar un concierto de rock, un grupo de jóvenes encuentra el cadáver de una muchacha en el interior de un saco de dormir. Todo apunta a que ha sido brutalmente asesinada y a que su muerte guarda cierta relación con la banda de psicodelia Mad Hatters. Al menos, eso quedó reflejado en el expediente del caso, que en su momento fue investigado por un tal Stanley Chadwick. Décadas después, el inspector Alan Banks se topa de nuevo con el nombre de los Mad Hatters relacionado con una muerte; en este caso, la de un periodista que estaba escribiendo un artículo sobre la banda.
