Mayfair, 1973. A singer is missing, a mystery needs solving, evil masquerades as spirituality, as love becomes the fateful motivator.

​

Elisud Jones, Welsh former wrestler and hardman is hired to find a Soho gangster’s missing girlfriend, Angie Bright-Silver, thought to be in Mayfair, recording new material which she hopes will rebuild her faltering career. 

​

Using his knowledge of the music business, London, and Angie, Elisud begins his search digging beneath the veneer of glam rock era Mayfair - dubbed ‘Teen Avenue’ by pop mogul Mickie Most - intersecting with the likes of David Cassidy, Lou Reed, Lynsey de Paul, and a demi-monde existing in recording studios, shabby nightclubs, high-end prostitution rackets, Californian cults, a mental hospital in Banstead, and the sybaritic green room of Top Of The Pops.

​

The first in a series of Elisud Jones stories, Teen Avenue brilliantly marries the crime thriller with rock heritage biographies, creating a classic seventies sleuth; flawed but charismatic, violent but philosophical. A Bogart in loon pants, a Philip Marlowe in flares.
