Trip Hazard is coming....

I'm busy writing the fifth installment of "Trip Hazard - Los Angeles Private Eye who will also work for publicly quoted companies". I've not written the first four yet, maybe I never will.

I'll let you know when it's ready. It might even come out in podcast form if I can come up with a convincing american accent. Just as a taster, here is the cast:

Trip Hazard: an LA PI who nearly always does the right thing. In his own way. Cast aside by the LAPD for a crime he probably didn’t commit he now wages war on the side of the angels in the city of the angels, helped by his treasured ’74 open top Mustang and numerous friends and acquaintances. First seen in the pilot programme: “This Shield May Not Be for Hire”

Mycroft Strange: sometime sidekick to Trip who finds his classically trained, British Empire background a help and hindrance in equal parts. A mystic codebreaker who also worked for MI5 he joined forces with Trip in episode two; “Eat Lead for Breakfast”

Koyoto: Enigmatic Japanese beauty with brains to match. Teamed up with Trip in episode three; “Ninja Motorbike Assassins from Tokyo” when he saved her from a life of high octane crime.

Beverley Vermont: Wisconsin Cheese heiress who, due to her inadvertent involvement in a Mafia yoghurt scam, ended Trip’s police career. Returns to become his full time lover in episode four; “Milk isn’t the only thing that curdles”.

Archibald Nemisis : a childhood friend of Trip who has since gone over to the wrong side of the tracks and lives in a disused station there. Now a boss of a huge underworld syndicate which also operates above ground. Really the cause of Trip’s downfall, and nurses a non-secret passion for Beverley. Although he wouldn’t kick Koyoto out of bed either. Introduced in episode one.
