Описание: Nick Howard is a Private Detective - but only just. Hes only in his office on a Saturday morning to close it down. His dream has failed. The only crime hes had to investigate has been adultery. His time as a Private Detective, Private Investigator, Private Eye - whatever you want to call it - has come to an end. Then who should turn up to interrupt his sulking? Only his ex-wife And she has a job for him- as a Private Detective. Shes the last person hed expect to be offering him some work. The catch is that its to find her current lover, John Anderson Will Nick take the job? Of course he will - he needs the money. Who knows? The case could even save his career as a detective. The job leads him back to his last place of work - the local water company - RWS. It turns out the Managing Director also requires Nicks services as a Private Eye. She wants to find Anderson as well, but not only has he gone missing, so has Maxine Hudson, the HR director. Have they disappeared together, or is it just a coincidence? Why is the MD interested in their disappearance? Anderson had been auditing company practices without his bosss knowledge. What was he looking for? Nick starts work following Andersons footsteps through the companys business practices. Hes soon making waves, (or is he drowning?), in the murky waters of the Companys investment programme. Is what he finds illegal? Is it a real crime? As he investigates, Nick uncovers two suspicious deaths and finds himself two lovers into the bargain. As he says, clients and lovers are like buses: you wait ages for one and then.... well you know the rest.Hes going to need all his experience as a hard-nosed Private Detective to uncover the truth - if only he had some. If only he could emulate his childhood heroes - Nick Charles, Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade - real Private Eyes.Theres a mystery to be solved. Questions need to be answered: Has a crime been committed? Are the two deaths anything more than suspicious? Has there been a third? Are his two lovers anymore than ships that pass in the proverbial? Where are John Anderson and Maxine Hudson? What were they up to? Why have they disappeared? Should he being going the toilet quite so often?And most important of all: will he get paid?If youve ever wondered how your water rates are worked out and how they decide where to spend the money, then this book may not answer all of your questions. But if you want an old-fashioned detective story with a few swipes at office life, and a dose of humour then this has got to be worth a go.
