ULTRA COOL
We're in Newport, home of the famous jazz festival. But this is 1968, the early days, when the festival was more a happening than an event.

You'll search for a long time before you find a better depiction of the music,sex and party scene of the early seventies. I get the feeling that Ric Wasley was there.
Apart from the atmosphere of Newport and the Folk Festival which infects it every year, Wasley has constructed two excitiing sleuths and a juicy crime for them to solve.
One of the five best mysteries of the year.
