My book,
Pepper's Ghost, a genre-busting mystery featuring a world-famous magician, a love-sick ghost and the unsolved - and unknown - twenty-five year-old double murder of a pair of Western knife-thrower music hall artistes, will be published end of September.
Links to it will be up on the day, but in the meantime, here's a blurb and a sneak preview: the work in progress cover...
PEPPER'S GHOST
1921 Liverpool.
When noted stage magician Millie finds a dead woman in his theatre dressing room, he doesn't panic...
He calls in the law - who don't believe him, especially when he admits that she was only in his make-up mirror and was begging for his help - and might have been a ghost?
And this is only the beginning of a mystery that encompasses a pair of twenty year-old murders, a collection of very eccentric mediums, a gun-toting librarian, a stage-struck confectionery heir...
....and an apparently lovesick ghost.
Pepper's Ghost is the first in a 1920s-set series of mysteries featuring world-famous escapologist, illusionist and amateur detective Mr Millennium (Millie to his friends....)
