Book Synopsis The Fairly Innocent Little Man by : Laurence Meynell
Download or read book The Fairly Innocent Little Man written by Laurence Meynell and published by Orion. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Weller plays bridge and plays it very well. He isn't a major, and his name isn't Weller, but Hooky Hefferman doesn't know this. In fact, so impressed is he with the self-possessed major that he is completely unaware of the crime being committed under his nose. The potential victim is Hooky's formidable aunt, the Hon. Mrs Page-Foley, but she doesn't seem to be the 'victim' type, and from most people's point of view, including Hooky's, she appears more than capable of looking after herself. But the crime goes wrong, and Hooky soon finds himself in the midst of an impending disaster. A disaster he must prevent if anyone - including his aunt and his latest love interest - is to take him seriously as a private detective again.

Book excerpt: Hooky Hefferman, private detective, is, as they say in the theatrical profession, 'resting'. So when the thin little man in the shabby blue suit calls to ask for professional advice, though he looks by no means promising as a provider of much-needed funds, Hooky is at least prepared to listen - and finds his interest at once held. Edward Rider wants to stay alive until the following Friday, and asks Hooky to help him achieve this modest ambition. On that day, he is anxious to meet a certain person arriving from Berlin, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that someone is determined to prevent this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man's journey intertwined with contemplation of his father's life and their relationship. From the Back Cover HIGHEST PRAISE FOR The Little Man By ANDY LITTLETON "This is indeed the story of a 'little' man. But it is far more than that. It's the story of the son of a 'little' man sorting out what truly matters in his life. It is as much Andy's story as his father's. Throughout the beautiful and gentle weaving of this tribute you will meet many obscure 'little' people whose lives richly matter. You will visit back roads and hidden away places few ever see or know. You will walk away from the book with your own haunting longing to see the world as small, quiet, and full of grace. --Rod Hugen Pastor at The Village Community in Tucson "The Little Man" presents a man whose simple life is a pleasant contrast to the models of manhood and fatherhood usually presented to us today. Leroy, was a down to earth man who achieved what every father desires - the admiration of his son. This story gives fathers an oportunity to reflect on the way their life teaches their kids. For children it reminds us to celebrate and enjoy quiet lessons taught to us over a lifetime." --Jesse Wood Pastor of Naco Christian Church & Founder of Cafe Cultiva "It's rare to get a peak inside the head of the quiet, of the unassuming and the overlooked. "The Little Man" does much to bring out beauty in small places, wonder and grace in the dusty, quiet in-betweens of open spaces and the people that fill it. The story is told through a tender relationship of son to father, which makes the usually unspeakable all the more heartfelt." --Amy Smith Owner / Manager - Exo Roast Co.
