When a particularly sensitive letter disappears from the safe of the general manager, Jan Campbell-Jones, Jan calls in Edgar Hodgkiss to solve the problem. From a few random observations Hodgkiss finds a remarkable solution that exposes a network of ingenious criminals.</p><p>Hodgkiss and his daughter Esme Burke receive a call for help from an elderly lady, once a friend of the family. But when they arrive things are not as they expected. Hodgkiss' suspicions are aroused by the appearance of the man who claims to be a relative of the timid, frightened woman. Soon he proves the man is not who he claims to be and puts an end to his attempts to steal a collection of valuable clocks.</p><p>When visiting a friend Hodgkiss notices the extraordinary behaviour of a man on the balcony of the flat above where his friend lives. Later, when a body is found in the flat Hodgkiss and Donald lock horns once more over the question, was it suicide or murder, this time with a surprising climax.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'The author's style is charming and clever, with plenty of clues and red herrings to make an enjoyable read for all whodunit fans'</p><p>- Robin Fleming, Acres Australia</p><p><br></p><p>'Edgar Hodgkiss is the scourge of Kanundda Council. Thanks to 'leaks' from within the council, he is awake up to all the rorts, the skullduggery and the point scoring ... on this heavily factionalised council. And when he exposes them in the letters to the editor column of the local free newspaper, The Star, the trouble starts: murder, blackmail, backstabbing - the lot. The stories move quickly, hold your interest and are so easy to read.'</p><p>- Harvey Grennan, Local Government writer for the Sydney Morning Herald</p><br>
