Tails of the Village

Description

Admiral Humphrey Beckingham-Smythe has come home from the Orient on sick leave after contracting malaria. While home with his young wife and growing family he finds a case of murder in the village, and cannot resist poking his nose into the investigation. After all, he has a history of investigation with customs units. The scenario broadens to include a case of blackmail, too close to home for comfort and investigations into gangland in the nearest big town.

I am the author of four previous adventure stories and murder mysteries. My hobbies include history, naval history and the occult. I live by myself in a flat in Chesterfield in the north of England. Tales is always spelled as 'Tails' in the Humphrey Beckingham-Smythe books as there is always a cat involved somewhere in the story.
