Dennis Bisskit is the finest private investigator in Dudley, if not the entire nation.But he’s also a husband and father, and unfortunately, there are only so many hours in a day.How can you possibly find the time to be a family man and fight crime?It’s a difficult situation or, as best friend and business partner, Stinky Blackshaw would call it, ‘a perplexing problem’.Catching a diamond thief or teaching baby how to survive in the wilds, it’s all in a day’s work for Dennis Bisskit.
He's dangling from the rooftop of a Birmingham department store.
He's wedged inside a baby's pram, floating down a canal.
He's being chased half-naked down Dudley High Street.
It can only mean one thing.
BISSKIT IS BACK.
It's 1969 and Dudley's premier private investigators, Bisskit and Blackshaw, are at the top of their game.
After they foil a gang of shoplifters and save Christmas for the children of Birmingham, their fame spreads far and wide. Lady Ophelia Babbington-Perch hires them to safeguard her Crufts dog show favourite, Bertie.
It all seems straightforward enough, but is there more to it?
What if it all went wrong?
Could this be the end of the road for Dennis Bisskit and Stinky Blackshaw?
1969 – Man is about to set foot upon the moon. Meanwhile, momentous events are also taking place in the West Midlands. Weddings, funerals, hereditary hair loss, M. J. K. Smith’s cricket bat, a missing masterpiece; dastardly deeds are taking place, above and below the streets of Birmingham. The police are baffled. This looks like a job for Dudley’s finest, Bisskit and Blackshaw – private investigators. Yes, the boys are back. Older, but none the wiser in Dennis Bisskit and the Man from Paris with the Very Large Head.
