Back to Blighty. It’s 19th July 2017. It has been cloudy, windy and wet for the last week. What a surprise in the last day or so to see such improved weather. Can’t really moan can we? But it is seriously hot for the UK at 90 degrees. Nice to spend time in the garden. All the neighbours firing up the Barbie. Still rather be in Portugal though. Oh well, come September.
What’s in a title? Due for release later this year, my new book is currently titled IMPERSONATOR, here’s the Blurb.
Manchester, Castlefield Basin, early morning. An Elvis impersonator wakes, to find a body slumped on the back of his narrowboat. A knife is sticking out of the man’s abdomen. Fingerprints on the knife are not a match to Elvis. During police investigations, they return to find that he and the boat have disappeared. A rich lady believes her toy-boy lover, the drummer in a rock band is stealing from her. He is found murdered one evening in the band’s dressing room. A maths student at Manchester University is leading a double life as an escort, her body is found floating in Castlefield Basin. Is the connection the missing narrowboat? The Gent investigates.
Can you suggest a better title, an Elvis song perhaps? The first 6 suggestions win a signed copy of the New Book. Email to burton01@btinternet.com. By 31st July 2017. CHOSEN TITLE also gets an ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the book.

The Atlantic Ocean is an azure blue and the surf rolls in. Sipping a Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic, with ice and lime, where else, what else? Reminds me of the song Sundown by Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot, great lyrics, hands up who can remember, click here. Sundown
