Aprašymas

Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen.

Hodgkiss and his son-in-law Detective Donald Burke are playing a round of golf when a savage storm hits sending them running for cover. But the same storm provides the cover for a cruel opportunistic murder and Hodgkiss is soon involved.

Hodgkiss and Pat Strong were hoping for a quiet week away at Pat's seaside town house. But even there Hodgkiss can't escape the Kanundda Council's long tentacles of corruption ... this time in the form of a rort involving toxic filling being dumped in new playing fields.

When Hodgkiss hears that a friend of Pat's has bought an expensive painting from a particular art gallery in Grattan he is keen to see the new acquisition. The behaviour of the gallery's manager soon arouses his suspicions and he decides to take an interest in the new purchase.
