Philip Caldrock is recently retired. He sees
an old film starring Cadaver Wincepole,
gentleman detective and decides to set up
as an investigator, assisted by his wife,
Heather. They are joined by Clarissa,
a genius receptionist who drops tea cups
incessantly. The anticipated master criminal
also appears.
This is a collection of the first cases
in PhilipÕs new career. Bursting with deduction,
the Caldrock brain assaults everything
from country house deaths to sheds that eat people
and incomprehensible murder mysteries.
ÔA very, very funny bookÕ
