Sam is a detective, and what do detectives do? Well, detect acts of crime, survey the misdoings of the mistakenly lovelorn, eat sandwiches, and look for lost cats. Since going into the private sector Sam is holding down another job of the hush-hush variety, and being rather good at keeping secrets is immensely skilled at keeping the bizarre and downright unnerving out of his rather mundane private life in his indeterminate flat that he shares with Camille, a rather demanding female of the feline variety. However, Sam's life is about to get very complicated indeed, when his beloved Camille (who is convinced that her name is NOT such and only returns when Sam shouts "Haddock!") finds a startling piece of evidence of an unusual and seemingly impossible crime. With Camille holding this inexplicable object in her jaws, it is now time for Sam to get a grip, Man Up, and face his greatest fears: mega packs of Whiskas, electric tin openers and the scene of a crime far closer to home than he ever expected.....

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
