Introducing: The Italian Affair (The Penny Detective Series) The Penny Detective Series has been designed to be read in any order From sleeping until noon, watching afternoon TV, and getting drunk, Morris Shannon is thrown into an investigation that develops into something grimmer than just a search for a missing person. Backed up by his alcoholic sidekick, Shoddy, Morris tries to separate the lies from truth in a classic adventure set against a backdrop of the decaying streets of Merseyside in the mid 1980s. The Penny Detective will keep you in suspense until the last page, and provide a few laughs, and some subtle twists along the way. 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.' Goodreads If you don't know the Penny Detective series, grab a book now, you might be missing a killer! Chester Mail Classic noir with a twist and some good old-fashioned British humour. The Penny Detective seems to get better and better.
