"0.25 million words of glorious British stupidity."
WARNING: These books contain strong language, unnecessary violence, gratuitous sex, implausible situations and irreverent British humour, and should therefore not be read by anyone.
Book One: The Slaughtered Virgin of Zenopolis Detective Inspector Capstan investigates a murder at Bath's almost famous Basin Museum, a hapless armed robbery, the theft of ancient Roman weaponry and the answer to “one across†in the local newspaper. Meanwhile, the city is under threat of Roman invasion and their leader, sexy young exhibitionist Becky Philips, is taking no prisoners.

Book Three: The Thrills & Spills of Genocide Jill The third case for Inspector Capstan in which he meets graduate Miss Jill Meadowbank, who seems to have a natural aptitude for both business and murder, and having discovered that the two complement each other remarkably well, sets her sights on European monopolisation of the industrial marketplace with the aid of a World War Two Lancaster bomber and a couple of Spitfires.
