Not sure why then Kid Strange does a peace in the book but nothing from his wife. The piece is written as though Kid Strange was living with him at time of death.

To be honest i had never heard of Doctor of Madness nor Kid Strange until reading this thread.
I googled the band and Richard Strange is from London and also done lots of acting. and makes no reference to Estonia or Pete Shelley.
Then googling Shelley it says he moved to Estonia with his Estonian wife Greta so just put 2 and 2 together and assumed they are not the same person
