No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The price of failure is death.
England wins the soccer World Cup. Same night, a barmaid's body is discovered near an abandoned lighthouse. Two more murders follow; all remain unsolved.
D.I. Andy Ross is called in when a disturbingly similar series of murders begins in the same location.
If their estimates are correct, Ross and his team have one week to solve the case before the next Lighthouse Murder takes place.
In A Very Mersey Murder, D.I. Ross and Sergeant Izzie Drake return in a race against time, as they seek to identify and apprehend a vicious killer who seems to leave no clues and no evidence.
This is a standalone mystery, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.
Praise from readers:

โ โ โ โ โ - "Superbly crafted... a 5-star read."
โ โ โ โ โ - "Kudos to Porter for continuing to deliver quality stories with powerful messages and imagery."

"Award-winning author, Brian L Porter's fifth book in his Mersey Mystery series takes a darker turn in A Very Mersey Murder as the past seems to encroach on the present when a series of killings in 1966, known as The Lighthouse Murders, is being recreated in 2005.ย Detective Inspector Andy Ross and his specialist team of murder investgators are called in as the realisation dawns that unless this vicious rapist/killer is caught, the next victim, if the original pattern is followed, will be a police woman, and they have one week to solve the case. The clock is ticking!
Probably the very best in the series so far, Porter ramps up the tension as time runs out and the final day dawns with the killer still on the loose. A superb read, highly recommended for lovers of mystery/thrillers." - Mario Domina, CEO, ThunderBall Films
