Three adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen.The terminally corrupt Kanundda Council is desperate to prevent the ratepayers from learning the extent of council’s huge debt before the looming elections.

Hodgkiss does not forgive or forget. His investigation turns up a history of hate and murder.While attending a sitting of the State Parliament Hodgkiss hears one of the government members ask his own leader a particularly embarrassing question.
