THE MALLORCA CONNECTION - Bob Burns Investigates
PAPERBACK published by Oasis-WERP - 2012
ISBN 978-0-9573062-4-0
Bob Burns is an old-fashioned kind of Scottish sleuth, more interested
in catching
villains than brown-nosing to get promotion. So, when his enquiries
into a brutal
and bizarre murder are blocked by his bosses, should he risk losing
his career by
carrying on his investigations?
Encouraged by an attractive-though-maverick forensic scientist and
assisted by
a keener-than-bright young constable, Bob does it his way. The trail
leads the trio
from Scotland to Mallorca, where intrigue and mayhem mingle with the
crowds at
a fishermen's fiesta. A rare combination of suspense and comedy, with
a real twist
in the tail.
This is the first in a trilogy of humour-peppered mysteries featuring Bob Burns, his dry Scots humour and his pair of unlikely sidekicks. The other titles in the series are The Sporran Connection and The Cruise Connection.
