Pratt, Pratt, Wally & Pratt Investigate
Pratt, Pratt, Wally & Pratt are a newly formed firm of insurance investigators, although only one person works there, Thomas Robel. He gets his first case from a mysterious American woman who appears unannounced at the office. The simple case of embezzlement is not all it seems, and Tommy Trouble is drawn into a web of lies, kidnap and clown murder. In prison for a crime he didn’t commit, can he escape and extricate himself from the sticky web of deceit?
The story behind the book
In 2020, I came across a professional review of Trouble Cross from 2013 that I never knew existed. It was complimentary but the reviewer suggested the narrative was too complex and I should take out the back story and Doctor, Oh No, which I had interwoven into the story as the main character writes it during the narrative. A bit late but I cut down the main story and republished under the title Pratt, Pratt, Wally and Pratt Investigate. I was loathe to just forget the 20,000 words I cut out so I also published Doctor, Oh No as a standalone spoof and the back story also as a short introductory tale.
