The Beiderbecke Trilogy

Bix Beiderbecke (Jazz cornettist of old) obsessed Trevor Chaplin and Jill Swinburne are teachers at San Quentin High in the "moonstruck outer limits of Leeds" and are the most reluctant detective duo in the history of investigation. They have an AFFAIR , hear the TAPES then make the CONNECTION. This is the full adventure in one volume by the award winning writer and dramatist Alan Plater. The trilogy comprising of THE BEIDERBECKE AFFAIR , THE BEIDERBECKE TAPES and THE BEIDERBECKE CONNECTION was also a very popular TV series starring James Bolam + Barbara Flynn with the haunting jazz soundtrack. THE BEIDERBECKE TRILOGY is Chandler with flat vowels, Hammett with dropped aitches, McBain with mushy peas and chips and a gentle serving of wry humour on most pages. A lovely nostalgic read.
