The Italian Affair — John Tallon Jones

Introducing the Penny Detective 2. As private detectives go Morris Shannon, is not in the same league as Poirot or Holmes. He is going through what can only be described as a ‘lull' in business, when the beautiful Katarina Falcone walks into his office and asks him to find her brother From sleeping until noon, watching afternoon TV and getting drunk, he is thrown into an investigation that very quickly develops into something inexplicably grimmer than just a search for a missing person. Backed up by his alcoholic and seldom sober sidekick Shoddy, Morris tries to separate the lies from truth in a classic who-done-it set against a backdrop of the decaying streets of Merseyside in the mid 1980s. The Penny Detective 2 will keep you in suspense until the last page, and provide a few laughs, and some subtle twists along the way. Step into the twilight world of Morris and Shoddy as they take on another investigation. This is the second book in the Penny Detective series.
