A detective thriller with hints of supernatural, mystery and a firm parapsychology presence. Inner Space is a novel that leads the path for a series, composed of another two books which are now almost ready. The author, prolific writer Merlin Fraser, has learnt from the masters of literature; all mingled with his own very personal, dark style, the reader can spot some Agatha Christie or P.J. Wodehouse and many others. Humour, wit, science and para-science all work together to make this novel an outstanding example of a mixture of different worlds, united by the concept of the thriller.

When upstanding Chief Superintendent Dan Davies is arrested for the killing of a mute, bed-bound crash victim, DI Nick Burton immediately sets out to prove his best friend’s innocence. There’s only one problem – Davies has confessed to the killing. As someone starts leaving anonymous clues, the disillusioned Burton struggles to find a motive for this and a number of other seemingly unrelated killings in an effort to understand his colleague’s brutal deed. He finds himself waist-deep in mystery and falling for a mysterious, seductive parapsychologist, who he may not be able to trust.

In the midst of an eclectic, subversive, puzzle-filled plot and a new wave of crime sprees flocking into police HQ, Merlin Fraser’s world-weary detective has to question everything he has come to believe in if he is to find the truth and clear his best friend’s name.

In this genre-bending thriller, the reader is taken through twists and turns that challenges the reader and leaves them guessing until the very end. ’Inner Space’ by Merlin Fraser will keep even the most well-read audience entertained throughout.
