Book description
House-sitting in Boston one winter, Will Randall picks up with one of
his more disreputable travel buddies, Jack J. Makepeace, and life gets a
great deal more exciting. Makepeace introduces Randall to his current
employers, Chestnut Investigations, and soon Will finds himself
appointed apprentice Private Investigator. He tails mongrels and errant
husbands, attends a seminar on Blood Spatter and is recruited in a
lapdancing club by an anti-government go-go girl. Then emotional stakes
are suddenly raised when Will Randall, unlikely Limey Gumshoe, finds
himself investigating the disappearance of a sixteen-year-old girl from
her affluent home, and fighting to save a vulnerable boy from the
housing projects from a miscarriage of justice. With his latest
adventures in Limey Gumshoe, Will Randall gives us an often hilarious,
sometimes scary, eye-opening perspective on the bizarre world of private
investigation. Will Randall is an ex-schoolteacher and writer who has
travelled, taught, and found himself in outlandish situations all over
the world.
