Foul: A Football Murder Mystery

Brian Parr. Footballer. Millionaire. Legend. Murderer? At the height of his £160,000-a-week career, Brian Parr, England Captain and legendary ladies man, finds himself framed for the murder of his best friend and fellow international Stevie Hurst. We follow Brian from the morning of his friend’s disappearance through to his arrest, trial, release and then Brian’s own personal mission to track down the real killer. Aided by his incredible sporting prowess and hampered by his underwhelming intellectual agility, Brian is a cross between Bond and Zoolander, battling those who try to stop him every step of the way. As it unravels, this comic mocku-biography, slash murder-mystery thriller introduces the reader to all the possible culprits: the Russian oligarch, the greedy agents, the ruthless manager, the jilted wife, the clandestine girlfriend, the angry fan, the rival player. All of them knee-deep in the underworld of the beautiful game, all of them potential killers of England’s number one goalkeeper.
