PURPLE DEATH
Tranquil suburban Richmond-on-Thames, home to such landmarks as Hampton Court Palace and Kew Gardens becomes the setting for a series of shocking and particularly gruesome murders that leads Detective Inspector Sean Connor and his team into a labyrinthine investigation in which all roads lead towards a thirty year old unsolved murder. The victims, all apparently unconnected to each other, are being dispatched by the use of a singularly unique poison, previously more closely associated with the notorious medieval Borgia family.
As the murders begin to multiply at an alarming rate Connor finds clues hard to come by, and every lead takes him down yet another blind alley as the killer seems to be one step ahead of the police at every turn. Together, he and his assistant Sergeant Lucy Clay must piece together the shreds of evidence that will lead them to the mysterious "Chocolate Woman" and in turn to the brain behind the horrific murders that soon come to be known as "The Purple Death."

This latest thriller from the pen of Brian L Porter has also been signed by Thunderball Films of Los Angeles for adaptation for the screen in movie or TV format, as part of an agreement that will see a number of the author's novels being similarly adapted.

Reviews for Purple Death
5 STARS from Martha A. Cheves, author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
I've read all but 2 books written by Brian Porter and I have to say that if you've never read his writings, you're losing out. Purple Death has taken me on a road with many curves, most of them sharp. Porter grabs your attention in the beginning of the book with his Welcome message and your reading experience goes up from there. He has got to be one of the best mystery writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
5 CHOCOLATE HEARTS from Fran Lewis, reviewer and author of "The Bertha Series" and Memories Are Precious
Who will win the battle? The KILLER OR PURPLE DEATH! What does keep you on the edge of your seat until you turn the last page and read the last word? Let's hope our author brings back this team of detectives for another murder.
I give this book FIVE CHOCOLATE HEARTS WITHOUT ACONITE IN THEM!
4 SIREN STONES from Siren Book Reviews
This is a fast paced thriller that travels all over England in search of clues...This book constantly keeps the reader guessing and for this reason stands out among the many mystery stories. Brian L. Porter's PURPLE DEATH was a wonderful read.

Reviews for The Festival
5 STARS from Martha A. Cheves, author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat
I don't know how Brian Porter does it. He always amazes me with his imagination and ability to create a story out of just about any circumstance. "The Festival" is an entertaining, short story that won't let you put it down until you've read to the end.

FROM HELL TO ETERNITY
In 2009, The Whitechapel Society 1888, an organization devoted to studying not only the murders of Jack the Ripper, but of Victorian and Edwardian society, held its first ever short story contest. Such was the quality of the entries that Moongypsy Press decided to produce this anthology, comprising the top ten entries in the contest. Each author has produced a mini masterpiece of short horror, based on a compulsory opening line. The talent displayed in From Hell to Eternity is evident in the varied tapestry of tales contained within its p[ages, some set in the era of the Ripper murders themselves, others placed into a modern and up to date setting. Each has earned its place in this anthology, and each is guaranteed to appeal to those who enjoy a real ’thrill and chill.’
