BATHS, BANKS AND ROMAN INSURRECTION

“A well-observed comic novel that is actually, genuinely, laugh-out loud funny.”

Stevie O’Connor, Amazon.co.uk

“Absurd comedy of the style Douglas Adams used to grace us with has been in short supply since he left for what has been, I must say, an unreasonably long tea time. Though many have attempted to fill in during his absence, this work comes closer than anything I’ve since read without sounding like it’s specifically trying to fill those sweaty, beer-soaked loafers.”

Clifford Hall, Amazon.com

INTRODUCTION

Detective Inspector Capstan investigates a murder at Bath’s almost famous Basin Museum, a hapless armed robbery, the theft of ancient Roman weaponry and the answer to “one across” in the local newspaper. Meanwhile, the city is under threat of Roman invasion and their leader, Becky Philips, is taking no prisoners.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

David Blake is the author of the brand new series of laugh out loud Inspector Capstan books. This first one is a funny British black comedy that has little mystery and not much murder, but is packed full of fast-paced dark humour. Some people have said that it’s been written in the style of the late, great Tom Sharpe, but Tom was a comic genius, David sadly isn’t. This is just a darkly humorous fictional story, available on Kindle, and about a British detective who’s probably in the wrong line of work. That’s it really, but he’s been told that people do actually “laugh out loud” when they read it, allegedly.
