The Brighton Trade by T D Webster

[william warren]

A former small-time crook, Jimmy Marsden, comes to see Edgar Fenton, an ex-CID who had left the force to set up his own investigative business, on a personal matter. He wants Edgar to check up on his wife - she's been putting a lot of mileage on her car but says she hasn't gone anywhere. Edgar follows her and finds that she's going to Brighton and meeting in a pub with someone called Vincent Crane, who owns a hairdressing shop. The meeting appears more to do with business than a sexual liaison but when she is found later dead in her car, Fenton tries to find the killer.

Many thanks for this entertaining radio thriller.:-) It's fun to recognize the voices of radio, TV  and audiobook actors such as Stephen Thorne and Terry Molloy.
