But Don’t Panic!!
Local author and regular contributor to this very magazine, Tony Flood, has just launched his latest crime thriller, Beggars Belief, the subject of which is a murder committed in Seaside Road, Eastbourne.
Beggars Belief – Deadly Disguise and Web of Lies, published by Michael Terence Publishing, has received glowing endorsements from fellow authors and actor Brian Capron, who played serial killer Richard Hillman in Coronation Street.
It tells how a gunman, disguised as a beggar, waits for financial wizard Timothy Marshall to leave his office, then kills him in cold blood.
At Marshall’s side is his personal assistant, Vicky Appleby. Smart, determined, and just twenty-eight, she is devastated by the murder, but resolves to help DCI Harvey Livermore track down the killer.
Suspects include: disgruntled clients, a furious husband, an ex-partner and an egotistical actor.
But did one of them pull the trigger, or did they hire a hitman to do it?
