    About this ebook

    A police detective found in bed with a beautiful woman who's dead is not a good look. It's at times like this you need someone with a level head who is a stickler for due procedure. Who is that level headed stickler for due procedure? It's none other than Police Sergeant Elizabeth West or just plain West, as her crazy colleagues call her. It takes all West's time and energy to keep her two superiors from fighting each other and to keep their minds on the job. She is the one little pool of sanity in a great ocean of madcap surreal nonsense.

    Reviews: 'Laughter starts on page one and continues with zany, Pythonesque characters in the best Leslie Neilson tradition. This collection of hilarious, comic whodunits will appeal to those who enjoy the surreal - the plots showing mercurial twists and turns, each one crazier than the last but retaining the thoroughly enjoyable dialogue from sketch to sketch whilst enabling the reader to dip in for short periods without losing the plot or the sense of the bizarre. Highly recommended if you enjoy a good belly laugh.'

    'Bursts at the seams with superb comic characters.'

    'The Bigfoot books are funny, hilarious, totally irrelevant and deadly serious.'

    Anthony E Thorogood

    I was born in London England in 1953, which makes me a baby boomer I think. Dad ran a market stall in Woolwich’s Beresford Square selling anything and everything. A natural Cockney salesman with all the patter that goes with it but when he was told to give it up or die from the cold, we packed up shop and migrated to Australia.In my youth I always enjoyed my old Dad’s tales of his adventures in the navy in WWII and of his childhood hop picking in Kent, I got my love of storytelling from my Dad. I wrote a book on cider in 2008 after being awarded a Churchill Fellowship to travel around the world and drink and research cider, the cider book sold out. I followed the success of my cider book by writing a series of madcap comic extravaganzas: Bigfoot Littlefoot & West. I followed the Bigfoot books with my Jack Hamma action adventure series starting with Shakespeare on the Roof. Then in 2015 I wrote three romantic travel adventures starting with Sex Sardines and Sauerkraut.This is the bit where I state that I am happily living the good life on our 5 acre property, on the beautiful island of Tasmania, spending my time walking, cycling, planting trees, growing vegetables and writing the odd book, very odd some people say.
