Description

Introducing: The Mentalist (Penny Detective 15)

Private Detective Morris Shannon takes on a case for an old classmate who suspects his wife is having an affair. When Morris begins digging, he finds evidence that goes far beyond unfaithfulness, and reveals a deadly secret from the past.

When you enter the shady world of the Penny Detective, you are never quite sure what is going to happen next, as Liverpool's favourite private investigator tries to cut through the deception to reveal the truth. Will he manage it? The odds, as always, are stacked against him, in this nostalgic noir trip back in time to the 1980s.

The Penny Detective 15 will keep you in suspense until the last page and provide 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.
