Into The Killer Sphere, a cozy mystery novella

It’s been the maid, in the garden, with the sphere. Or maybe not.
A classic cozy mystery novella set in a classic Italian villa.

The more you strive for a few days of holiday, the more troubles you’re involved in. That must be Chase Williams’s thoughts when Inspector Angelo Alunni of Tursenia Police called him out to solve a murder mystery.

Chase is looking forward to a solitary week off when a domestic accident at Galli’s villa all of a sudden turns into a murder case.

Piero Galli died after a chandelier fell on him, breaking his neck. Too easy not to be a murder, Inspector Alunni can swear on that.

Chase eventually ends up in a detective story with clear notes of the classic cozy mystery novellas. Was it the strange maid, in the garden with the sphere, or maybe the authoritative mother, in the kitchen with the knife? Every character involved with Piero Galli has a solid motive for murder.

Just like the most traditional Cluedo board game, Chase and Angelo have to guess the killer by following clues that are often hidden in the tiniest detail.

Betrayals, drugs, love and money embrace the calm and serene atmosphere of the seemingly harmless Tursenia, a city where appearances always come first, especially if you are wealthy like the Gallis.

Into the Killer Sphere is a cozy mystery novella that challenges your intuitive and detective skills, with a note of Italian humour. Will Chase take down the assassin before there are more deaths?

Into the Killer Sphere is available worldwide on Amazon Kindle Store

Pull The Trigger, a Chase Williams murder mystery

A great shooter, a lovely lady, a possible killer.
A new Italian crime story, a new challenge for Chase.

What do cycling and target shooting have in common? That’s a question Inspector Angelo Alunni can’t answer on his own.

Looks like the Tursenia countryside is the perfect scenario for shooting young Olympics athletes and sorting out a complicated crime story. Two cyclists and one shooter have been targeted by a mysterious sniper without any reasonable motive.

Chase is called by Angelo to support the investigations, but it seems like neither the brilliant inquisitive attitude and close attention to detail of our favourite British detective are enough to solve the mystery.

Tursenia Police is then backed up by the famous ballistic expert Gianmarco Betti from Rome. His charming attitude toward ladies and ‘unorthodox’ investigative strategies awakens Chase’s open wounds. The fog surrounding Chase’s previous life in London thins out whilst the crime story thickens.

Competition is tough in sports, and weak youngsters may easily fall into silly choices and unforgivable mistakes. Pull the Trigger is a not your regular cozy mystery: the fast-paced events drag Chase and Angelo into a vertigo of unforeseen twists and turns. Love and friendship are challenged and Chase will be forced to take a hard decision. Who’s going to pull the trigger first?

Pull the Trigger is available worldwide on Amazon Kindle Store
