Dominic Butler's second collection of crime based short stories takes us on another dark tour through the world of murder and mystery. A storm-swept country house sets the scene for a classic "who dunnit" with a twist. A locked room on the towering top floor of a Texan skyscraper hides an impossibly murdered body. And in the heart of London the National Art Gallery is about to play host to a master thief.
Perfect for B1 English learners, these dark pulp fictions are as equally enjoyable for fans of classic crime fiction with a twist.
In a darkened room on tropical island a retired mobster awakens to the click of a cigarette lighter and a sense of impending doom. At the Tower of London a New York private detective wonders if has got it all wrong as the bullet rips into this chest and hurls him from his feet. In a small terrace house in the North of England a cold shiver runs across a man’s back as he uncovers the mystery of his friend’s disappearance.
In Dominic Butler’s second collection of crime based short stories no corner of the globe is safe from his twisted tales of murder and mystery. Sixteen new locations set the scene for these often dark, occasionally funny, but always intriguing pulp fictions.
This new collection is perfect for B2 English language learners, as well being equally enjoyable for all fans of classic crime capers, amusing “who dunnits” and enthusiasts of the unexpected.
