Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgkiss and the Selwyn Request / Hodgkiss and the Injured Possum / Hodgkiss and the Telescope - Hodgkiss is never wrong... Or hardly ever. He was quite certain that the number thirteen was never used on houses in the streets of Kanundda. That would be so unlucky! But this time he was wrong and his dogged refusal to admit it led to the discovery of an ingenious art theft being carried out under the nose of the local council.- Hodgkiss' passion for chess is on the wane and while staring absently between moves from the rear window of his opponent's flat, he notices some unusual goings-on in the carpark below. When the body of a neighbour is found locked in the flat next door, he insists, contrary to appearances, that it was murder and provides an ingenious and logical solution to another locked room mystery.- Hodgkiss' daughter, Esme, knows there will be trouble when he arrives home with a telescope after his regular Saturday morning assault on the local garage sales. And she is not wrong. While spying on the neighbours, he makes an acute observation that leads to a brutal murderer being brought to justice. Hodgkiss' talent for solving crime has given a welcome boost to the career of his son-in-law, Detective Sergeant Donald Burke. In spite of this productive partnership, Esme often is hard-pressed to keep the peace between her husband and her father because Hodgkiss exacts a heavy price for his assistance, usually in the hard coin of humiliation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgkiss and the Shack in the Woods Hodgkiss and the Wrong Rifle Hodgkiss and the Open Door In this, the eleventh volume of the Hodgkiss Mysteries, Edgar Hodgkiss is confronted with three examples of that most baffling of all forensic challenges ... a body found in a locked room with no way in or out. How can the killer leave the scene of the crime without a trace? These three cases demonstrate three different ways in which such a crime can be committed and they demonstrate, too, Hodgkiss' genius for unravelling the most complicated crimes in his usual aggressive and uncompromising manner. These three cases, The Shack in the Woods, The Wrong Rifle, and The Open Door, provide three different solutions for what looks at first sight to be three insoluble problems.

Book excerpt: Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. Apolitician who is about to be 'outed' by the media is persuaded to disappear before he can bring disgrace on his Party. To achieve this a corrupt policeman invents a novel method of identifying a murder victim in the place of the disappeared politician. It was a method that could have worked but for Hodgkiss' intervention. A bungling burglar drops a stolen ring in the street after performing a theft-to-order for a friend ... stealing jewellery for an insurance fraud. Unfortunately for him the drama takes place in full view of Pat Strong's town house. So when Pat involves Hodgkiss he decides to take a hand. An advertisement in the local paper is all that's needed to bring the incident to a surprising end. Hodgkiss is indisposed when Donald is confronted with another locked room murder puzzle. So Esme accepts the challenge. She visits the crime scene, photographs the suspicious elements, consults her father and they demonstrate to Donald how the murder was done.

He wins no accolades when he tells his son-in-law, Detective Sergeant Donald Burke, who has to investigate these crimes, 'The very fact that the body is found in such obviously improbable and contrived circumstances should, of itself, be sufficient to raise the gravest suspicions in the mind of any intelligent investigator.'This fifth volume of 'The Hodgkiss Mysteries' contains three such cases which present ingenious variations on the locked room murder theme.In the first story a particularly obnoxious member of Kanundda Council, a body notorious for its venal conduct, is found shot dead in his study. In spite of the barred windows and bolted door Hodgkiss soon demonstrates how the man was murdered and his killer managed to escape the scene of the crime.The second case is a new variation on the theme where the body is discovered in a flat with all the windows and doors locked and the safety chain on the door in place.The third case offers an entirely new approach to solving the problem of the locked room murder. The solution is complicated when a water main bursts in the street outside the murder house, creating a huge hole in the roadway which attracts emergency services and news crews.

Download or read book The Hodgkiss Mysteries Volume 10 written by Peter Sinclair and published by Sid Harta Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgkiss and the Deadly Seance Hodgkiss and the Meaningful Message Hodgkiss and the Old Flame Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. A man who has accumulated incriminating information about members of the notoriously corrupt Kanundda Council dies in mysterious circumstances. Local legend had it that the man kept this information in a black box hidden in his house. Then his wife, who attends a seance to contact her newly departed husband, also dies mysteriously and the contents of the black box disappear. When Hodgkiss becomes involved he soon locates the contents of the box in a most unlikely place. When Kanundda Council's newly-elected mayor is found murdered at his desk there is an apparently meaningless jumble of letters left on the screen of his computer. But when Hodgkiss and his companion, Pat Strong, look into the matter Pat, quite by accident stumbles on the surprising solution that enables them to reveal a killer from the dead mayor's last desperate message. Travelling in the train one day Hodgkiss notices a young girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to a girl he knew years ago. After an awkward meeting they soon realise that there are dark secrets in the girl's family that must be explored and brought into the light no matter what the cost. 'Edgar Hodgkiss is the scourge of the 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.' - Harvey Grennan, Local Government writer for the Sydney Morning Herald. 'The author's style is charming and clever, with plenty of clues and red herrings to make an enjoyable read for all whodunit fans.' - Robin Fleming, Acres Australia
Book Synopsis The Hodgkiss Mysteries: Hodgkiss and the Unsafe Safe and Other Stories by : Peter Sinclair
Download or read book The Hodgkiss Mysteries: Hodgkiss and the Unsafe Safe and Other Stories written by Peter Sinclair and published by Hodgkiss Mysteries. This book was released on 2021-04-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. In this volume we see three typical Hodgkiss mysteries presented in the form of film scripts. All three have appeared in earlier volumes of The Hodgkiss Mysteries in traditional story form. I decided to publish them as scripts in the hope of attracting the interest of a producer who may see in them the potential for a successful series of light detective stories. The final script in the volume, Closed Circuit, is the first episode of a sci-fi horror series. The challenge is for some imaginative writer/producer to see what can be done with this novel and very terrifying concept.

When Ann Farley stops receiving emails from her boy friend who has travelled to Australia she decides to follow and investigate. With Hodgkiss' help they uncover a dark pathway of murder and fraud before the killers are brought to book. When Donald begins investigating the death of a man found in a locked room he immediately assumes it is suicide. But Hodgkiss knows the man's evil past and realises there are those who would like to see him dead. To convince Donald he must demonstrate how murder could have been done. Even in death Hodgkiss manages to defeat the plans of greedy members of Kanundda Council who have persuaded a government minister to aid and abet them in their latest massive scam. Hodgkiss finds a way to set the plotters at each other's throat and the scam falls apart. Tragically Hodgkiss is not there to celebrate his success

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Civil War was the first conflict to see real clashes between tanks, employed by both sides (at the same time, Italy was fighting in Ethiopia, employing a good number of armoured vehicles, but against an enemy with no tanks at all). Spain was thus the testing ground for modern warfare between armoured vehicles sent from Italy, Germany and Russia. The use of tanks during the Civil War only hinted at some of those aspects that would later make armoured forces one of the decisive elements on the battlefield during the Second World War. In this volume, Spanish-made prototypes and so-called ‘tiznaos’ will be described.
