When professional burglar, Albert ‘Wheezy’ Wallis, is found dead in a car full of exhaust fumes, with handcuff bruises on his wrists, the police assume it’s a case of underworld revenge. But Wheezy’s old friend – reporter for the Hampstead Explorer and secret millionaire Horatio T. Parker – is not convinced. After suffering a terrifying ordeal himself, Parker becomes more determined than ever to unravel the mystery.

Reviews
Plenty of detection laced with humour and a cast of characters who are as colourful, and contrasting, as you could hope to find in such a story
Part thriller, part whodunit and part very funny caper, this is a most engaging novel
Most engaging . . . warmly recommended for its lively dialogue, rich characterisation and pacy narrative
Blithe and funny
