Murder at the Town Crier Tournament

Town Crier’s daughter Julie Belltower, works with Plymouth Detective, Tom Courthope, to catch the killer before he wipes out the competition.

Julie accompanies her mum, Canberra Town Crier, Jennifer, to sunny Devon in England, for the Armada Vup, with Criers from Britain, Canada, the UDA, Bermuda, New Zealand and Australia. One Crier is stabbed with a sword, and another is poisoned at theCriers’ luncheon, and everyone is afraid.

Police Detective Tom and hissmall team are overwhelmedby a professional criminal on a final spree, and the media are drawn tothe small towns by the vicious competition. Prize money of a hundred thousand pounds has attracted the finest Criers, but the conman has planned to terrorise Plymouth, Kingsbridge, and Dartmouth with his gun.

Police Prosecutor Sarah Saxby joins the team, and Julie spends the rest of her “holiday” seeking a serial killer’s family and previous victims.

Still, nothing is sexier than gun shops, dodgy boats, chartered planes, and a mystery to solve.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
