Summary

FIRST, the saucy film of a nude woman bathing is, stolen from a What the Butler Saw machine on Brighton's Palace Pier. NEXT, the pier's night watchman is murdered, his body found in the coconut shy. COLIN CRAMPTON, ace reporter on the Evening Chronicle, senses a scoop when he's the only journalist to discover a link between the two crimes. HE UNCOVERS a 50-year feud between twin sisters, one a screen siren from the days of silent movies, the other the haughty wife of an aristocrat. BUT, COLIN'S investigation spirals out of control, as he RISKS HIS LIFE to land the biggest story of his career. STOP PRESS MURDER, a Swinging Sixties mystery, has more twists and turns than a country lane. It will keep you guessing, and laughing, right to the last page
