As private detectives go Morris Shannon, is not up there with the likes of Poirot or Holmes, and is already considering a career side-step and buying a high class fish and chip van business, when Karl Ashford walks into his office and changes those plans forever. From recovering stray cats and dogs for their owners and taking pictures of dangerous cracks in pavements, he is plunged into a brutal murder investigation that has more twists and blind alleys than..............something with quite a lot of twists and blind alleys. Backed up by his alcoholic and seldom sober sidekick Shoddy, Morris chases the truth through the backwaters of Merseyside, determined to get his man. The Penny Detective will keep you in suspense until the last page, and provide a few laughs along the way, as you begin to see just how useless at detecting Morris, or Moggsy to his friends, really is. Step into the shady and utterly grubby world of Morris and Shoddy as they take on the first proper case they have ever investigated, and see if you can guess who the killer is, because that just maybe the only way that you get to find out. This is the first book in the Penny Detective series.
