TROUBLE CROSS

by David A. Wardle

When Thomas Robel, insurance investigator of Pratt Pratt Wally and Pratt, receives a visit from the Director of Claims for the Fidelity Insurance Corporation he thinks he has struck gold – especially when a fat cheque for a retainer is handed over. But that’s where simple profit ends and hard work begins as Robel sets about answering the first Who has been swindling The Fairfax Corporation out of policy monies? An enjoyable page turning comedy thriller involving a greenhorn insurance investigator, out of his depth and living on his nerves.  Trouble Cross  is a rollicking parody in the Ian Fleming mode that will keep you guessing to the end with many a comic moment fired from Robel’s inexhaustible store of one-liners along the way.
