HEADLINE MURDER
Brighton Evening Chronicle crime reporter Colin Crampton needs a front-page story. Colin gets a tip-off that Arnold Trumper, who owns the seafront’s miniature golf course, has disappeared. His vanishing act is linked to an unsolved murder. Powerful people don’t want Colin to find the truth. He uses every newspaper scam he knows to get his scoop. Trouble is Colin’s girlfriend, feisty Australian Shirley Goldsmith, carries the can when a scam misfires. Can Colin win a race against time to land his story – and keep Shirley on-side?
“Holds the reader’s rapt attention from first page to last.” – Midwest Book Review
STOP PRESS MURDER
The nightwatchman is murdered on Brighton’s Palace Pier. Colin Crampton thinks the killing is linked to the theft of a film from a pier viewing machine. The saucy movie shows a nude woman bathing. Colin reckons if he can track down the thief, he’ll nail the killer. He uncovers a 50-year feud between twin sisters – one a screen siren from the days of silent movies, the other the haughty wife of an aristocrat. But Colin’s investigation spirals out of control. And his girlfriend Shirley’s life is on the line.
