Is Mad Mila Mulligan our Serial Murderer?
(2026)(The second book in the Bill and Martin Murder Mystery series)
A novel by PM Mahoney
When a man is pushed under a train at busy Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, there is initial confusion as to who did it and whether the pusher was actually male or female. When Detective Inspector Kevin Applegate is assigned to the case, he soon finds several links leading back to Shepparton, Martin Hamilton, and his faithful dog, Bill.
As more dead bodies begin to pile up and the police find a list of future victims, suspicion eventually falls on Mila Mulligan, a bag lady whom Martin is trying to help. Did someone set up Mila—and was that someone Martin?
Meanwhile, Bill is trying to solve his own mystery: to find and set free a ‘prisoner’ whom he keeps hearing pleading for help. Lies and murky pasts are revealed all around them. Can Bill and Martin once again assist DI Applegate, or will they get in the way and just confuse the case?
