Tails of the Village by Ian Jones introduces Admiral Humphrey Beckingham-Smythe, who has returned from the Orient on sick leave after contracting malaria. While recuperating at home with his young wife and growing family, he becomes embroiled in a murder case in the village. Unable to resist his investigative instincts, particularly given his history with customs units, he delves into the mystery.

The scenario soon broadens, uncovering a case of blackmail that hits uncomfortably close to home, alongside investigations into gangland activities in the nearest big town. Through deft narrative and engaging characters, Ian Jones crafts a compelling tale that intertwines suspense with domestic intrigue.

About the Author

I am the author of four previous adventure stories and murder mysteries. My hobbies include history, naval history and the occult. I live by myself in a flat in Chesterfield in the north of England. Tales is always spelled as 'Tails' in the Humphrey Beckingham-Smythe books as there is always a cat involved somewhere in the story.
