The Baffled Beatlemaniac Caper: A Sandy Fairfax Teen Idol Mystery - Sally Carpenter - Bog

Beatlemania is back and better than even in this revised second edition. Former teen idol Sandy Fairfax finds that making a comeback can be murder! It's been fourteen years since the pop star broke little girls' hearts on the 1970s hit TV show Buddy Brave, Boy Sleuth. But after years of obscurity, the 38-year-old nowhere man can't land a gig anywhere except at a slightly disorganized Beatles fan convention in Evansville, Indiana. What looks like an easy job turns deadly when a member of the Mercy Marvels tribute band is shot and the local police finger Sandy as the prime suspect. The schoolboy shamus is back in action to find the culprit. All he's got to do is get back past the fawning fans, shady vendors and a John Lennon wannabe who just won't let it be. Help! It's all too much for our bad boy hero who tackles the case with a little help from his friends. The Baffled Beatlemaniac Caper was a finalist for the 2012 Eureka! Award for best first mystery novel.
