SUMMARY:An Evening with Chris McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Join us with Author Chris McDonald\n\n\nA new PI. A dead rockstar. A tangled web of secrets. \nWhen Ethan Adler set up his new PI agency in central Manchester\, he wasn’t expecting his first case to be so high profile – investigating the mysterious death of rock star Dylan Vy. \nEthan has been avoiding the spotlight ever since his beloved wife Maggie’s untimely passing. His grief has been complicated by rumours that Maggie was pregnant with another man’s child at the time of her fatal accident. And because said accident took place just hours after Ethan won the lottery\, a cloud of suspicion has followed Ethan ever since. \nChris grew up in Northern Ireland and now lives in the appropriately-named Marple. He is the author of ten crime books\, including the Erika Piper trilogy and The Stonebridge Mysteries. He is a scriptwriter\, and a regular voice on The Blood Brothers Podcast and Friends Of The North. He is a fan of football\, heavy metal and dogs.
