Free Antony Bennison mystery novels
Antony Bennison has posted two of his novels at his website, under a creative commons licence:
http://www.antonybennison.com/ They are available in text, PDF, or may be read online. The two novels are: Educated Guess Scotsman Nick Waite is tired with living in London as a Clint Eastwood lookalike and tailor of Elvis costumes. When he meets millionaire poker winner Alison at the launch party for a gambling website, he think at least it will turn out to be a fine night. But the next day he will discover dead body in a wardrobe, engage in a con to steal quarter of a million pounds from a fraudulent TV psychic, and be given the opportunity to take revenge on someone he hasn’t seen for a twenty years. But with the naive yet persistent Detective Swan investigating a related murder, will Nick find he has what it takes to start a new life? Nothing Easier Paul Haygood is a conman and bigamist who dies leaving behind the score from his last job and team he hasn’t yet paid. When the team makes plans to steal the money they’re owed, the first question they have to answer is: which wife did he leave it to? Rob Selby, a friend of first wife Angelica, plays detective after she asks him to find out more about her husband’s life. Unfortunately for Rob, he unwittingly walks into the middle of the team’s new con and events become both violent and complicated for everybody involved. |

I've downloaded the PDF and the text. I'll be formatting the text based on the PDF and hopefully it won't be too much of an effort. So they'll be in a proper reflowable format soon.

Thanks Jon.
No, Mike, I've never read anything by Bennison before. But I like mysteries, so I'm planning to read one soon. If Jon's going to convert one then I'll wait for his conversion. |

I now have the first book Educated Guess formatted with the italics. I'm now going through the book in BD to finish formatting it.
