Hodgkiss doesn’t miss a trick. Four adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen.
Hodgkiss and his friend Pat Strong visit a friend in a rented house adjacent to a council car park. When a bottle flies over the high wall surrounding the car park Hodgkiss wonders if was just someone skylarking or something more sinister. Later when the owner of the house has moved back in another bottle arrives with fatal results. An accident? Hodgkiss thinks not and he makes a acute observation that points to murder.
A distant relative in a remote country town appeals to Esme for help in finding the family fortune. Hodgkiss, who doesn’t like the sound of this proposition, insists on accompanying his daughter. They have no sooner arrive when a body is found in a locked room at the farmhouse. Hodgkiss at once suspects murder although all the family can account for their whereabouts at the time. But Hodgkiss still shows how a most ingenious murder was planned and executed.
