Summary
"It's 1957, and the famed theater critic A. S. Crystal has come to the British seaside resort of Brighton with something other than the production of A Shilling in the Meter on his mind. Sitting in the Brighton Theatre Royal with Constable Twitten, Crystal intends to tell the detective the secret he knows about the still-unsolved Aldersgate Stick-up case of 1950. And yet, just before Crystal names the criminal mastermind involved, he's shot dead in his seat. With a new murder case on his hands and a lazy captain at the helm of the police department, the keen and clever Constable Twitten and his colleague Sergeant Jim Brunswick set out to solve the seven-year-old mystery of the Aldersgate Stick-up. As the partners venture deep into the criminal underworld that lies beneath Brighton's holiday-happy veneer, they begin to discover a criminal conspiracy that dates back decades. But will Brunswick and Twitten be able to foil the mastermind, or will Crystal's death become just another unsolved crime in this seemingly peaceful seaside city?"-- Jacket
