    Hello again.I've added Drifta's Quest 2 on this site. Unlikely to be a Drifta's Quest 3 but never say never. I am already working on a new book to fit in between other creative projects. As a mere lad of 68 I have a good few years to tell my stories so I hope people will keep enjoying them.

      Three Blind Eyes

      Chapter 1

      'Hello, Ferret,' said Detective Senior Sergeant Stanley Morris, extending a hand. 'Welcome back, mate.'

      'Thanks. Good to be back. Sort of,' said Detective Constable Fred 'Ferret' Ducket.

      Detective Sergeant Vincent Crowe slapped Ducket on his back. 'Can't be swanning around on honeymoon for ever. We can always find you something useful to do.'

      'If he has any strength left,' said Morris. 'How is Poppy?'

      'Delightful.'

      'Love,' said Morris, cynically. 'Thank God it isn't contagious.'

      'Now I know I'm back. So. Anything interesting happening?'

      Crowe said, 'Until you turned up, not much.'

      'Come again?'

      Morris said, 'Just a coincidence. Yesterday, a mechanic was murdered.'

      'As long as it hasn't anything to do with terrorists,' said the Ferret, taking the file from Morris.

      Crowe said, 'Highly unlikely. Just a bit nasty.'

      'Ugh! So I see. Definitely not an accident?'

      Morris shook his head. 'No. He was obviously crushed by the hydraulic ramp, but no accident. The up down control buttons are out of the way on the wall, for safety reasons. Take your finger off the button, the ramp stops. It's impossible to be in the position he was found and operate the controls.'

      Crowe added, 'And before you say it, not an electrical or mechanical fault. All checked out in good working order.'

      'Autopsy?'

      'We're waiting on the official report,' said Morris. 'My guess would be he was held down and the ramp squashed his head to a pulp.'

      Crowe said, 'There were definite marks on both wrists, as if held down. Impossible to be suicide and not an accident...'

      Morris added, 'Which only leaves the third alternative. Murder. The autopsy will only confirm what we already think we know. That the man was placed carefully to have his head crushed under the hydraulic ramp.'

      'That doesn't make much sense,' said Ferret. 'If it is that obvious it's not an accident or suicide, what's to be gained from doing it this way? It's easily going to be a murder case. Might as well just smack him on the head with one of those big spanners or something and have done with it.'

      'Torture,' said Morris. 'That's our theory so far. Either for revenge or because he knew something and scaring the crap out of him would get him to talk.'

      Crowe said, 'I don't know about you, Ferret, but if a dirty great hydraulic ramp was getting closer and closer to my head, I'd be
