Capstan's Case Files (Inspector Capstan books 1 - 4): The Chronicles of Capstan Volume One, a funny urban crime comedy series that will have you laughing out loud
"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.
"Fantastically funny, loved every page." Mark Anderson, Amazon.co.uk
Book Two: The Curious Case of Cut-Throat Cate The second case for Inspector Capstan where he has to contend with a certain Mrs Cate Jakebury, a young university lecturer who's also a published author. But things don't go well when she decides to murder her husband, become a pirate, steal HMS Victory and then attack France, just to research her next novel.
"So funny, I had tears streaming down my cheeks reading this one. Witty, dry and engaging, I couldn't put it down!" Betti, Amazon.com
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.
"Blake is quickly becoming the ‘Stand-Out’ voice of our contemporary indie comic writers." Stevie, Amazon.com
Book Four: The Herbaceous Affair of Cocaine Claire The fourth case for Inspector Capstan where he comes up against the former Chief Inspector of the Solent Police, Morose, who's just started a forty-two year back-to-back life sentence for multiple murder. Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the Brexit Referendum, the British Prime Minister's looking for ways to increase his ever-declining popularity and turns to his niece, Claire Bridlestock, for help.
"One of the funniest books I've read in ages." John, Amazon.co.uk
