The Gun Slipped

When private investigators Ted Bird and Betty Abbett are hired by a local shipping tycoon to investigate a smuggling racket, they quickly find themselves in the frame for murder. As Ted struggles to unravel the truth, another man disappears at sea. The net is closing in. Could their client be lying to them? Is anyone they meet being straight? This is a high stakes story of greed, piracy, murder and international intrigue. We're excited to bring you a new gumshoe detective, Edward Bird. Known to his enemies as Ted Bod, he works with his boss, Betty Abbett, to clean up the port city of 1950s Kingstown. That's right, Ted is a totally new British crime hero for the modern reader. In the vein of Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner and James Crumley, Ted is the real deal. This is British Gumshoe Noir for the 2020s.
