Melody from the Dead: A thirty year old mystery. A startling revelation

By Jason Chapman

In the heart of rural Monmouthshire is Vine Road Music studios. A place where dreams have been realised and superstars have been born.

When a body is discovered buried in a field behind this world famous recording studio, Detective Inspector Marc Fagan finds himself thrust into a mystery that will push his resolve to its limits. The victim has been buried for thirty years, together with a coveted Brit award and a timeless Rolex watch.

At the heart of the mystery stands Alexandria Xavier, an enigmatic Welsh 90s pop icon. Who shattered records before disappearing into seclusion. Only to resurface decades later. Driven by the looming spectre of cancer, to release one last album.

Fagan uncovers a wealth of secrets that intertwine Alex's past with the buried body, and the tragic suicide of her sister Abbey, in 1993.

While Alexandria resurfaces, Frankie Jordan, her former music producer, schemes to profit from her revival. As Fagan dives deeper, the list of murder suspects grows, each one carrying their own burdens of truth and deceit. The studio's corridors resonate with echoes of an abuse scandal that scarred the 1990s. An ominous wall of secrecy that Fagan must shatter to uncover the truth.

In this must-read murder mystery, Melody from the Dead unveils a story that is as exciting as it is unnerving. Fagan's relentless pursuit carries readers through a labyrinth of twisted motives and hidden truths. Leading to a startling revelation that promises to shake the very foundations of the music and entertainment industry.

With an incredible plot twist that defies expectations. Melody from the Dead is a game changer thriller. Weaving together past and present, light and darkness. The narrative's unputdownable tension escalates with every chapter. Captivating readers with its gripping exploration of Vine Road Studio's twisted legacy.
