Publisher's summary

A new clue to an unsolved murder.

A dangerous killer on the loose.

A reporter desperate for a scoop…

It’s August 1962 and Brighton Evening Chronicle crime reporter Colin Crampton needs a front-page story. Then Colin gets a tip-off that Arnold Trumper, who owns the seafront’s miniature golf course, has disappeared. And that Trumper’s 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? The laughs are never far from the action when Colin and Shirley face dangers they never anticipated as they race to crack the case.

“Holds the reader’s rapt attention from first page to last.”—Midwest Book Review

“An engaging and entertaining mystery.”—Crime Thriller Hound

deciet and corruption

I liked Colin's enthusiasm for his job, even when he faces obstacles he gets more tenacious for the pursuit of justice. I liked how he ferreted out truth after truth for a big splash for the paper and justice. This was a very intriguing story that kept me interested. The humor interspersed in the story added to my enjoyment of this experience. Hoping Shirley sees the error of her ways sooner than later.I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life. I loved the accent.

Very interesting saga!! Loved the parrot's "little bugger",

I enjoyed this storyline very much. The narrator was excellent. Sorry it wasn't a happy ending with Shirley, but, a wife might not have worked out anyway.
