About ebook : Death and the Dutch Uncle
A classic mystery "bubbling with humor, bursting with clues, and switching from petty misdemeanors on the home shores to intrigue and adventure abroad." - Sheffield Morning Telegraph
As "Pudge" Coombe-Peters proved, Moyes had a gift for the kind of dreadful nicknames the British are so good at. This time around it's "Flutter" Byers, a small-time hood who gets himself killed in a seedy Soho pub (was there, ever, any other kind?). Byers consorted with criminals and owed money all over town; his death should have been little more than a footnote in the history of London gangs. But for some reason, Inspector Tibbett of Scotland Yard believes it's connected to PIFL, a backwater do-good outfit, currently trying to referee a murderous squabble between two small African nations. And these dark suspicions begin to look more likely when Henry gets word of another assassin's bullet-headed, this time, for one of PIFL's earnest, tweedy justice warriors.
