Read OnlineNeil Hammond is by profession a design engineer, and by his own admission a bit of a square, and destined to be one of life's failures. Becoming a victim of the economic recession he very reluctantly accepts a temporary cash-in-hand job of looking after a friend's detective agency for a week while the proprietor, a friend of his from school-days is away on a case. The work seems to consist in the main of such exciting cases as looking for lost cats or watching erring husbands, but matters take an unexpected twist when he rescues a young woman from a car that has been washed away in flood waters. 'Danny' as she prefers to be known, is a glamorous and a highly successful business woman who insists on retaining his services in solving a murder that common sense says never happened. Knowing nothing whatever about being a detective, he is swept along by the whirlwind attitude to life of his client as he tries to prove that the whole business is nothing but a wild goose chase. And then there is another murder, and matters suddenly become a race to prevent a third and fourth.
