Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. In this volume we see three typical Hodgkiss mysteries presented in the form of film scripts. All three have appeared in earlier volumes of The Hodgkiss Mysteries in traditional story form.

Produktbeschreibung
Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Three new adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen. In this volume we see three typical Hodgkiss mysteries presented in the form of film scripts. All three have appeared in earlier volumes of The Hodgkiss Mysteries in traditional story form. I decided to publish them as scripts in the hope of attracting the interest of a producer who may see in them the potential for a successful series of light detective stories. The final script in the volume, Closed Circuit, is the first episode of a sci-fi horror series. The challenge is for some imaginative writer/producer to see what can be done with this novel and very terrifying concept.
Autorenporträt
Peter Sinclair has spent most of his working life writing. He began reporting courts and councils in rural Orange (NSW) in the late 1950s then worked briefly for The Sydney Daily Telegraph where, because of his fluent shorthand, he was sentenced first to report local councils then banished to the Coroner's Court.He'd had enough of sudden death and murder when opportunity knocked and he joined the staff of a new, large weekly paper in Sydney's northern suburbs, The North Shore Times where he was soon reporting councils again.In 1965, he climbed over the journalistic fence to work as press secretary for a succession of NSW cabinet ministers (both Liberal and Labor) until 1991. Since then, he has made guest reappearances to help out in the PR sections of government departments.His absorbing hobby is playing the piano. He has made a number of CDs in very limited editions. The titles tell it all: Peter Murders Mozart, Wrecks Rachmaninoff and Desecrates Debussy. He says he gives them away to people he doesn't like!He has been married to Margaret for fifty-seven years and they have two sons; Sam, who is married to Carolyn with one son, Harry, 18, and Patrick who is married to Beejai with twin boys, Jackson and Zachary, aged 13.
