Pretty excited to announce that I have a new novel on offer – ebook and paperback – on July 1st. It is called ‘Shoot! Tackle! Murder!’ and is billed as a Tragicomedic, Murder Mystery.
Once again set in Northern England, featuring colourful characters I hope readers will come to love – or hate, in the case of the bad guys! This time the good guys are a bunch of unfit pensioners who have formed a Walking Football Team at their local social club. Besides having to fend off the sporting challenges of the likes of Unreal Madrid and Notvery Athletic, they must battle to save their club being demolished by a mean local developer. Along the way, they get involved in the mission to prove an old school friend innocent of murder.
I can’t wait to hear what my regular readers think of this one!
Here is the cover and book blurb:
Shoot! Tackle! Murder!: A Tragicomedic, Murder Mystery
(Amazon link above)
A tragicomedic murder mystery about a bunch of senior friends pulled out of their comfort zone into a world of both sporting and criminal skullduggery. Set against the parallel story of two lovers caught by menacing forces intent on destroying them both.
Walking Zeds FC, a walking football team of unfit pensioners are driven by one thing – saving their social club from being demolished by a pushy developer.
But nobody wants to see their one-time friend, Tony Ackersby, back in town. He’s fresh out of jail after serving 25 years for murdering his actress ex-girlfriend, Estelle Aurora. She’s none other than the nation’s sweetheart and a seemingly angelic TV nun to boot.
As fate conspires to bring Walking Zeds and Tony ever closer to one another, can they work together to save the club that is the heartbeat of their little community? In doing so, confronting villains ate every turn, can they finally prove Tony’s innocence?
In the small town of Slainsworth, many secrets lay buried deep.
