Description
WHO KILLED THE ARCHITECT
OF THE NEW COLOSSUS?
The classic
Agatha-Christie style
puzzle is brought into
the twenty-first century
with a bi-sexual
detective who not only
has to solve the mystery
but fend off
suspects—male and
female—who seem
determined to have sex
with him.
Ten letters fell from
the New Colossus at the
detective’s feet. One
read: ‘I am going to
kill the other writers
of these notes.’ And
soon the deaths began.
About the author
Allan Williams (born in 1960
of mixed religion parents)
has had many colourful jobs,
including being a male
stripper from 1985 to 1995.
In fact, it was while
awaiting the turn of his act
(ready to don false beard
and bowler hat as ‘The
Strippin’ Rabbi’) that he
began to jot down notes for
MURDER AT THE COLOSSUS. The
story reflects not only
some of his own bizarre
experiences, but also a deep
affection for the classic
detective story formula,
i.e. a limited number of
suspects—and a surprise
twist at the end!

Also by Allan P. Willaims:
What will happen when the
two most powerful forces in
the world—sex and
religion—collide with the
sex and religion of other
planets and cultures? As
usual, this author has no
hesitation in stripping his
male characters (both human
and alien) to fully explore
the mind-boggling
possibilities.
Lewis Carroll's long
nonsense poem, “The Hunting
of the Snark”, about 10
bachelors on a journey of
discovery, is here depicted
as a sexual journey of
discovery, darkly
overshadowed by the danger
of AIDS. The amazing
pictures by Allan Williams—
recording every strange
experience and exotic
encounter the poem
contains—are full of
ingenious surprises,
plentifully supported by his
annotations of the text. The
Bellman is tingling his
bell. Dare you come on board
for the journey of a
lifetime?
