About this title

Synopsis

The new wickedly funny and clever murder mystery from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of the Horrible Histories.

'The perfect thriller - transporting you to a point in time through exquisite period details, peculiarly beguiling characters and immediate page turning events. The sort of book you dream of writing!' TOM ALLEN
______________

1973. Hours after a mysterious phone call is made to the police, a train pulls into Sunderland station with a dead body on board.

Cause of death: strangulation. Victim: unknown. Witnesses: none.

Undeterred by this baffling set of circumstances, newly promoted Police Sergeant Aline James vows to crack the case and prove her critics wrong. But when her famously ruthless investigation tactics yield no results, she is forced to seek help from two unlikely allies: unassuming assassin John Brown and calamitous actor Tony Davies.

As bodies pile up, can this unusual trio thwart a devilishly complex plot, before one of them, actually, becomes a corpse?

About the Author

Terry Deary was born in Sunderland, in the north east of England, and now lives in County Durham. He was a professional actor before he began writing scripts for the theatre company he was working for and then adapting those stories into novels. He has also worked as a theatre director, museum manager, drama teacher and television presenter.

Terry is the creator of the Horrible Histories series and has written both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults, including the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller A History of Britain in Ten Enemies. He has been a published writer since 1977, selling over 38 million books in 45 languages, and he has also written for TV, theatre, radio, audio and new media scripts.

Terry's great love has always been reading murder mysteries and, for his landmark 350th book, he decided to finally write his own. Actually, I'm a Murderer was his first crime novel and it was the start of the Actually Murders series.
