Down these mean streets - and these even meaner tunnels - a Goblin must go; tough, street-smart, one whose pride and honour separates him from the dregs, the scum of both worlds with whom, regretably, he finds it necessary to associate. A Goblin with contacts both on and below the surface, and on both sides of the Law. A Goblin who gets the job done, asking only his usual fees, plus expenses.
You have a problem? You want it dealt with quickly and very discreetly? Don't want to involve the cops or lawyers of either world? And you can afford the very reasonable fees? Then Findo Gask is the private eye you need.

I have also completed a chapter-by-chapter summary.
I have now made available a few chapters of Findo Gask - Gumshoe Glamours, a sequel to Findo Gask - Goblin Detective. This is very much a work in progress at the moment.
An index of characters for both books is under construction.
If you have enjoyed this book, you may also like my collection of fifteen interlinked short stories under the title Four Square Less One. Can you work out the connection between the stories?

The Real Findo Gask
Findo Gask is a real placename in Scotland, a little hamlet not far from Perth on the main A9 trunk route.
The road sign on the main road always gives a degree of amusement whenever I pass - as well as providing part of the inspiration for this story.
You may have already spotted that I have taken the inspiration for other character names from numerous places in the vicinity of Findo Gask.
