'Aidan writes tales so authentic, so imbued with a true power they could be chiselled on the damn mountains.' "Benny had taken his first life. That meant he'd thrown away what was left of his, too. He'd known that the moment he decided Harry Weir had to die." When Benny Gower murders his business partner few people doubt his good reasons for doing so. Unlike Benny, it's not as if Harry Weir was popular. But he was the heir to Birmingham's most violent and dangerous criminal organisation. For Wynn McDonald, dragged out of retirement for the sake of his old gangland accomplices, motive doesn't matter. All he cares about is tracking down the nightclub manager turned killer. But before Wynn can extract necessary vengeance he'll need to turn over every stone on his way to finding answers. And not everybody's going to be happy with the truths that come crawling out. When the Music's Over is a classic crime story of winners and losers among the music, drugs and nightclubs of Britain's second city. 'A lethal cocktail of hardboiled crime fiction and a touching study of regret and disappointment. The action is brutal, the characters are vividly drawn, the pacing is gripping. When the Music's Over is a powerful slice of Brit Grit crime fiction that is highly recommended.' -Paul Brazill (author of Guns of Brixton and Cold London Blues) 'Aidan Thorn writes about the terror and awe of modern life with a clear eye and a courage that is so refreshing, it's nothing less than miraculous. In a literary landscape too often given over to the ephemeral, the commercial and the unashamedly vapid, Aidan writes tales so authentic, so imbued with a true power they could be chiselled on the damn mountains.' -Gareth Spark (author of Black Rain, Rain in a Dry Land and Snake Farm)
