Paddy Pest, the ubiquitous Aussie gumshoe, is immersed in a world full of beautiful women, conniving conspirators, and covert agents. Never without his Beretta or fold-up boomerang, Paddy is always prepared-a good thing, since he is about to take a ride on the wild side with his entourage of female associates. Stormy Weathers, Paddy s girlfriend and wing person, is known for her flaming red hair, nice legs, and her ability to hold her own in a fight. Pest surrounds himself with girls with guns and they mean business. Ariadne Vasilis has long black hair, a brutal arm-chop, and a fierce loyalty to her country, as does the delightful French gendarme Yvette Baguette. She wouldn t be seen dead without her Paris fashion labels. From a salacious situation in Salem to a conundrum in Kentucky! There s murder in Melbourne and mystery in Moscow, and Paddy s people are playing for keeps. Paddy s People is a collection of short stories laced with treachery, mayhem, and mischievous behavior that encompass some of Paddy s worldwide adventures and acknowledge those men and women who have been inspired by his exploits.
