Synopsis

Sam Turner has always had a romantic yearning to be Sam Spade. So he tells his men's group in York that he's a private eye - it's better than admitting he's an unemployed alcoholic. But then one of his friends asks for help in tracking an erring wife. So suddenly Sam is a P.I. And the next thing he knows, he's on the track of a serial killer - with the help of a street-liver and an ex-English teacher pensioner...'Exceedingly cunning, laid back plot...Genial, fast and funny' Philip Oaks, Literary Review 'Something quite unexpected...Entrancing - and funny' Natasha Cooper, TLS
