Marty Peet is a phenomenon. Hapless, dull, seemingly the most boring man in the village, he is suddenly thrust into fame, or is it infamy... as disaster dogs rains hell on his daily existence. Brian Scarsdale, perma-tanned, vain local TV celeb and newsman, appears to be the cause of all his troubles, but fate has a way of levelling the score and exposing secrets. If you thought peacocks were elegant peaceful creatures, think again. Given the chance they will inhabit your nightmares.

Our Man in Estepona is now live on Amazon Kindle! The paperback is following shortly.
Here's a flavour of this amusing detective novel:

It's thirty five years since the Grand Hotel in Brighton was bombed by the IRA but Clive Grainger, a former Scotland Yard detective now idling away his retirement in Estepona, is drawn back to discover a long past incident by the death of his good friend, Jessica. Following what appears to be a professional hit, Jessica's life becomes a mystery to be solved... prompted by the slapdash procedures on the case by the local police. Jessica, a mediocre, pleasantly ordinary, retired housewife is, or rather was, he discovers, nothing of the sort. At her demise, a tangle of lies and aliases, along with MI5 and MI6 involvement, unravels, slowly dragging Grainger and his old sidekick Glynn into the deep mire of police corruption and terrorist activity. The question he must answer; who was Jessica? And is the truth of her ever-evolving story worth putting his and possibly Debbie’s life on the line?

David Spear and Debbie Glynn have brilliantly woven a fantastic, humourous web of intrigue, drawn from the archives of the world of espionage, terrorism, politics and policing jiggery pokery. The detective/sidekick pairing of Grainger and Glynn, is a refreshing take on the dark world of sleuthing from Brighton to Estepona.
