Blue Murder

A peculiar pornographic movie has been wowing viewers in the Gulf. One of the more scurrilous English Sunday papers gets a tip-off that this exotic blue production stars respected residents of the coastal town of Flaxborough, and a team led by the well-known investigative journalist Clive Grail arrives in a Rolls Royce. Word of the looming scandal soon gets out and the towns quixotic mayor, Alderman Charlie Hockley, spurred on by the loan of some antique duelling pistols, issues a challenge to Grail! DI Purbrights stern warning falls on deaf ears, but before the duel can take place a far more sinister fatality occurs Witty and a little wicked, Colin Watsons tales offer a mordantly entertaining cast of characters and laugh-out-loud wordplay.
