Darkness looms over sunny Sidmouth, when an unsolved murder comes to the attention of late-night radio talk show host Edward Temmis.

Recently sacked from his beloved job after a devastating tragedy, Edward is cast adrift – until he meets Stevie, whose grandmother, a devoted listener, died in a suspicious fire last year. Well, nobody hurts his listeners and helping Stevie might just give him the purpose he needs.

Joined by his old fling, Kim, they discover Stevie's grandmother wasn't the only one of his listeners targeted – this is just the tip of the iceberg.

But who is pursuing his ageing audience and why? And can Edward, Stevie and Kim get to the bottom of this mystery before it’s too late?

'Strap yourself in for a wild ride … An intriguing, complex and hugely enjoyable small-town whodunnit, with vivid characters and a sophisticated plot. Can’t wait for the next instalment of this vibrant new series!' Janice Hallett, The Examiner

'A genuinely original concept, well-written with an ending that keeps you guessing' Jeffrey Archer, Traitor's Gate

'Written with a fine eye for the elegant phrase, and laden with deftly sparkling comic touches, Jeremy Vine’s Murder On Line One serves both as a trenchant reflection on the grief that follows personal tragedy and a poignant love letter to a changing radio industry. A meditative and polished mystery debut' Vaseem Khan
