Description

Bob Burns is his own man - a dogged Scots detective with a droll sense of humour, more interested in catching crooks than bootlicking his way up the promotion ladder. So, when his enquiries into a bizarre murder are blocked by his bosses, should he risk his careeer by carrying on regardless with the job in hand? Bob does it his way. There's nothing funny about murder, and nobody could be more serious about the pursuit of justice than Bob, yet a liberal peppering of humour seasons his investigations, thanks in no small way to the antics of his two unlikely sidekicks, a sexy forensic scientist ladyfriend with surprising tearaway tendencies and a gullible rookie constable who, albeit disarmingly, is hopelessly keener than bright. Free-spirited Bob isn't one to let national boundaries stand in his way, so he doesn't think twice about following the murder trail to the Spanish island of Mallorca, where intrigue and mayhem add unexpected excitement to a fishermen's fiesta. Backdrops of spectacular scenery, both Scottish and Mediterranean, add colour to this quirky mix of suspense and comedy. The first in a trilogy of tongue-in-cheek 'Bob Burns Investigates' mysteries.

Author Biography:

Scotland's Peter Kerr became established as a bestselling author via his award-winning 'Snowball Oranges' series of narrative travelogues. The books recount his family's often hilarious experiences while attempting to grow oranges for a living - an occupation of which they knew absolutely nothing - on a little farm in the mountains of the Spanish island of Mallorca during the1980s. Those five books and their prequel, the set-in-Scotland 'Thistle Soup', sell in large numbers worldwide and have been translated into several languages. Now concentrating on writing fiction, Peter's stories, which all contain his hallmark brand of dry humour, range in theme from the offbeat 'Bob Burns Investigates' mysteries to his first historical novel, 'Song of the Eight Winds', an epic tale of Medieval Spain. In his venturesome, roller coaster ride through life, Peter has been a Civil Service Executive Officer (for eighteen reluctant months!), professional jazz musician, record producer, farmer of beef cattle, and rookie Mallorcan orange grower - which is where we came in. Married with two grown-up sons, he now lives back in his home county of East Lothian, 'The Garden of Scotland'.
