First published: 1996
Description: Rangi and Pike are back... Detective Senior Sergeant Rangi Roberts faces yet another murky mystery. He knows the identity of the author of the flood of anonymous letters that afflicts the university and the local branch of the Society of Authors. He suspects that his neighbour's death was no accident. But how can he prove it? How can he find out who killed the little creep? How come this writer came to be his neighbour? And how can he keep 'Sir' off his back until he finds out? Most importantly, how is he going to make out with Julia, that highly intelligent, highly motivated, highly sprung literary agent who so longs to find a man for whom she can be a doormat? Will luck and blind chance once more come to the rescue of our hero? Of course.
