Think you've heard all there is to hear about #TheBeatles? Read this book by @ianleslie.bsky.social and think again. Best thing I've read this year.

Any #QPR fans dream of this place at night? DI Garibaldi, the detective in my series of crime novels, does. He also dreams he's the #QPR manager. Maybe someone should give him a call...
