Eton Mess Massacre

Beschreibung

Baking. It can get a guy killed. When the chef tipped to win this year's annual Eton Mess competition falls to his death in mysterious circumstances, Albert races to investigate - surely this is the work of the Gastrothief again. However, Albert barely makes it out of the train station before his detective's brain sees something most other people would never spot - a crime is about to take place and there's no way he can ignore it. Instantly shackled with a new problem, Albert attempts to solve both cases simultaneously, but is he up to the task? It's a good thing he has trusted partner Rex Harrison, the oversized former police dog, ready to lend a paw because this time he's going to need all the help he can get. New sidekicks to meet, new dishes to taste, and yet another deadly adventure awaits as Albert and Rex try to give the bad guys their just desserts!

Autor

When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend that he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge. At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first prize at the age of ten. However, calling it the first prize he won suggests that there were other prizes, which is not the case. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and thriller novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind because they are desperate to be written. Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.
