Haggard Hawk is the first in this modern murder mystery in the classic English style.
Hawk is a witty and volcanic English ex-copper with four grown up children scattered across the world. He was 'required to retire', as the British so delicately put it. In truth he was sacked. And just as he's about to go mad with boredom one of his neighbours does him the courtesy of being murdered.
The local police warn Hawk against interfering in their inquiry, but he can't help himself and pretty soon he's back where he belongs - catching a killer.
