Sphere1976
A Scott Mitchell novel
Subsequently published together with The Geranium Kiss in a single volume.
"Amphetamines and Pearls marked the debut of Scott Mitchell, a down-on-his-luck London PI who ventures to Nottingham for the sake of an old friend, iconic singer Candi Carter. Mitchell finds Carter dead in her living room, a trickle of blood coming from her mouth and a bullet hole in her chest. Her body is still warm. But before he can get out of there, he’s blackjacked, and when he comes to, he’s picked up by a pair of cops who beat him senseless and drag him to the nearest cell. Mitchell is having a hell of a day - and things will only get worse from here."

Sphere1977
A Scott Mitchell novel
Subsequently published together with Neon Madman in a single volume.
"Junkyard Angel starts with Scott Mitchell deciding to sneak into a flat he’s supposed to be watching from across the road to avoid freezing to death. It’s the worst decision he’ll ever make. He’s just stepped inside when a blackjack cracks him across the skull, and he crashes to the floor, unconscious. When he comes to, he finds a photo of a beautiful woman—and a dead girl lying on the bed. Mitchell has fallen face-first into a murder scene, and it won’t be long before he’s wishing he’d frozen instead."

Neon MadmanJohn Harvey
Sphere1977
A Scott Mitchell novel
Subsequently published together with Junkyard Angel in a single volume.
"In Neon Madman, Mitchell is trying to stay out of trouble by doing some safe, sleazy divorce work—so why is somebody trying to kill him? When a West Indian man bursts into his office threatening to tear him apart, Mitchell talks him down before the man is able to breaks any of his limbs—or, God forbid, his camera—but he still hasn’t got a clue who the intruder is, or how he’s tied up in the adultery case. And when this supposedly simple case goes from quick and easy to slow and deadly, Mitchell will have to move fast if he wants to stay alive."
