QUITE UGLY ONE MORNING

NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

ONE FINE DAY IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

BOILING A FROG

A BIG BOY DID IT
AND RAN AWAY

THE SACRED ART
OF STEALING

BE MY ENEMY

ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEBODY LOSES AN EYE

A TALE ETCHED IN BLOOD AND HARD BLACK PENCIL

ATTACK OF THE UNSINKABLE RUBBER DUCKS

The murder of a media mogul in his country mansion appears to be the result of him disturbing a gang of would-be thieves. The robbers are swiftly caught, but when they are unexpectedly moved to a different prison they escape.

Back in Edinburgh, a young solicitor reveals to the press that one of the subjects had left a letter with her some time before the break-in which proves his innocence. Jack Parlabane, journo-extraordinaire, is intrigued, but when he approaches the lawyer he discovers someone else is trying to get near her -
someone with evil intent, political connections of the highest order and a corrupt agenda.
