In Winona Kent’s mystery novel, Bad Boy (self-published $19.99), musician Jason Davey meets his fan Marcus Merritt at The Shard to sign a program from one of his band’s shows. That’s where Marcus hands him a program and then leaps to his death. Jason is soon drawn into a week-long quest to recover stolen music scores by composer Sir Edward Elgar. Marcus, a puzzle enthusiast, leaves behind cryptic clues inspired by Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Jason’s search takes him from Derbyshire to London, where he faces two dangerous foes: a Russian gangster also seeking the scores, and Marcus’s sister, who holds the secret to a decades-old mystery involving a crime lord’s missing daughter. 9781739046118
