Heads You Lose by Rob Johnson

Synopsis:
The assignment in Greece might have been the answer to Trevor and Sandra’s problems except for one thing. Someone was trying to frame them for murder… with a watermelon.
‘Money doesn’t come any easier,’ Sandra had said when they accepted the job of looking after the ageing Marcus Ingleby at his villa in Greece, but when a neighbour brings a gift for the old man, the prospect of spending most of the rest of their lives in a Greek prison becomes a terrifying reality.
Meanwhile, Ingleby has problems of his own. During his seventy-odd years, his cupboard has accumulated plenty of skeletons, one of which is about to be rattled by a couple of ex-cons and a retired police inspector from his murky past.
Some Reviews:
“A highly entertaining, well-constructed screwball comedy that is as enjoyable as it is well written.” – Keith Nixon for Big Al’s Books and Pals
“Johnson has delivered another masterfully planned and executed novel… It tickled my funny bone in all the right places.” – Joanne Armstrong for Ingrid Hall Reviews
