Description
Jack's back, and this time it's really serious.
Formerly a Special Branch Inspector at an International ferryport, Mowgley jumped before being pushed, took early retirement and fled across the channel to set up shop as a private investigator on the Cherbourg peninsula. This time our not-so-private eye is on the trail of a charming but deadly conman in a case involving intrigue, deception, dalliances and sudden death. Jack is back, and his legion of fans will find him as unpredictable and politically incorrect as ever...
What the readers say:-
'Mr East and his creation are both prime targets for cancellation. Thankfully, neither give a toss and the books get ever better...'
Extract:
"Did you not know about Rule 678/subsection19 in our Codes of Conduct handbook?"
Mowgley mock raised an eyebrow. "Would that be the one about male operatives not leaving the toilet seat down while having a leak?"
Catherine Degas sighed resignedly. "That's number 03, and we all know you haven't read that one. In fact, sometimes it looks as if you've left the lid down as well as the seat. Rule 678 etc. states that shagging the client while on an active case is strictly verboten."
"Even if the client is female?"
"Especially if the client is female"

Person
George East is a
former radio and television presenter, night club bouncer, publican, grave
digger and the world's only professional bed tester. At other times he
masqueraded as editor of Food and Drink Magazine, a private detective and as Georgina
East, author of countless soppy photo-story tales for Jackie and Bluejean
magazines. Then Fate took he and his wife Donella to Normandy and an ancient
and near-ruined water mill. George wrote about their small adventures there,
and nobody was more surprised than the Easts when the Mill of the Flea series
became a best- seller. The Easts went on to travel through France, writing
about the diversity of regional history, culture and food and drink. Especially
the food and drink. Nowadays, the couple are to be found at home in France,
Bulgaria or their bolthole in the wild west of the Isle of Wight.
