The World Cup Mystery

Peter Bartram
Works of: Fiction

The murder with a hidden motive

A secret conspiracy behind the killing

A crime reporter chasing a scoop

It’s July 1966 – and England is football crazy as fans cheer their team on to win the World Cup. There are millions who’d kill for a ticket to the final in London’s Wembley Stadium. Then café owner Sergio Parisi is found murdered in his own kitchen – and his World Cup Final ticket missing.

As Evening Chronicle crime reporter Colin Crampton, and his feisty Australian girlfriend Shirley Goldsmith, chase down the story, they find a link to the theft of the World Cup’s Jules Rimet trophy. And Colin has a race against time to prevent an even deadlier crime. The laughs are never far from the action when Colin and Shirley face dangers they never anticipated as they race to crack the case.
