The Hodgkiss Mysteries

In these five stories all of Hodgkiss' powers of observation are taxed to the full.

When he saw the killer's cabin cruiser returning to its berth at the marina what was it that Hodgkiss saw that convinced him the man had been involved in the theft of a number of valuable bronzes figures?

Hodgkiss had never heard of a pocket call until he received one. Then from the few words he overheard he uncovered a conspiracy being planned

by greedy politicians and their cronies. The unscrupulous political wheeler-dealers find themselves in all sorts of trouble when a highly confidential email goes astray.

Hodgkiss' friend Pat Strong answers a call for help from a friend who has been the victim of political skull-duggery and with Hodgkiss' help things are soon put to rights.

When Hodgkiss friend Pat Strong receives an urgent call for help from an old friend Hodgkiss soon notices inconsistencies in the tale the friend

had spun. There was plenty of blood. But whose was it? The unscrupulous Kanundda councillors are desperate to prevent details of their latest crooked money-making scam from reaching the public. So in their efforts to hush it up they threaten the elderly employee in charge of recording all meetings.
