Introducing: The Contender (Penny Detective 14)
The Penny Detective Series has been designed to be read in any order
In this new Penny Detective adventure, Morris is hired by an eccentric millionaire to find his son who disappeared over twenty years ago. The journey into the past uncovers a web of lies, greed, and murder.
When you enter the shady world of the Penny Detective, you are never quite sure what is going to happen next, as Liverpool's favourite private investigator tries to cut through the deception to reveal the truth. Will he manage it? The odds, as always, are stacked against him, in this nostalgic noir trip back in time to the 1980s.
An explosive cocktail that will keep you guessing until the final page.
Warning: This book will not be a life changing experience
Fans of intellectual literature should look away now, or try something more classical. All Penny Detective books contain no messages, big words, or complicated plots, but they will, hopefully, while away a couple of hours and entertain. If you are still not convinced; the terrific thing about Amazon is that you can read the first couple of chapters for free. Believe me; these books don't get any better or worse after that.
John Tallon Jones (author)
John Tallon Jones is to literary intellectuals what John Milton (Paradise Lost) and Leo Tolstoy were, to having a 'good laugh.' This is disposable fiction at the sharp end, nothing more.
What are people saying about the Penny Detective?
Liverpool Echo
'Take Hercule Poirot, Philip Marlowe, and Inspector Clouseau rolled into one, and you have the Penny Detective. This is a highly imaginative five-star read.'
Post Online
'The author has made the main character, Morris Shannon, vulnerable and sarcastic and I can relate to this, as will most readers. The creation of an alcoholic but brilliant sidekick is inspirational, and this alone makes it different to anything else you will ever read.'
