The Romance of Crime is an original novel written by Gareth Roberts and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and K-9. It takes place directly before the Missing Adventure The English Way of Death, also by Roberts.
The title is a quotation from the Morrissey song "Sister I'm a Poet".[1]
Plot
The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Romana and K-9 to the Rock of Judgement: a supreme prison built into a rocket-powered asteroid. What is the link between the gallery of artist Menlove Stokes, and the massacre of a survey team on a far off planet? And why is Margo, Chief Of Security, behaving in such an odd manner?
Audio Adaptation
Big Finish Productions, an audio production company based in the UK, announced they were doing an audio adaptation of this story starring Tom Baker and Lalla Ward. It was released in January 2015.[2]
