About this series
All three books in 'DaDa Detective Agency', a series of mystery novels by Pete Adams, now in one volume!
Road Kill: In the genteel, upper middle-class community of Southsea, Portsmouth, cataclysmic events unfold, culminating in a violent clash featuring a Sherman tank and a bazooka. Investigating the strange occurrence is Lord Everard Pimple, an inexperienced aristocrat who unwittingly stumbles into a world of feminine charms and a host of unforeseen complications. As Everard's life spins out of control, he remains oblivious to the looming danger that threatens to level his world. Will he survive the fallout?
Rite Judgement: In the aftermath of Sister Winfrede's gruesome murder, the police and MI5 are called in to investigate a string of increasingly bizarre deaths that hint at a connection to something sinister. Even as more bodies pile up, one victim, Bea Flat, inexplicably returns from the dead to conduct the orchestra. Jack Austin and the DaDa Detective Agency are at the center of this surreal tale of crime, myth, and legend, where reality and illusion blur and hope prevails despite the chaos. Rite Judgement is a story of good versus evil, and the human capacity for belief in the face of uncertainty.
Blood Sport: As Jack and Mandy return home from a Rite of Spring dance in London, they speak with Jack's son, Angie, who, like his father, is considered inept in the field of crime-solving. But when Angie is tasked with investigating council planning decisions, he uncovers a web of corporate greed and a sinister organization called Hegemon that threatens the coastal resources of Portsmouth. With his father's analytical genes, Angie becomes a defender of democracy, taking on surreal and unexpected challenges. 'Blood Sport', the third book in Pete Adams's DaDa Detective Agency series, is a comedic yet serious tale of conspiracy and the power of inherited traits.

1
Cataclysmic events have occurred in the decorous upper middle class enclave within Southsea, Portsmouth, on the south coast of England. But what were the circumstances that contributed to this violent clash involving a Sherman tank and a bazooka? The strange occurrence is Investigated by Lord Everard Pimple, a naive, upper class twit who not only inadvertently opens a can of worms, but has an introduction into the world of womanly wiles. Everard's life is about to blow up like an atom bomb... he just doesn't know it yet. But after the dust settles, will he still be standing?
- Rite Judgement
2
Heads roll. Corpses dance. People will believe what they want to believe. After Sister Winfrede, leader of the second violins in the famous Nun’s Orchestra in Portsmouth, is found decapitated, both the police and the MI5 are called in to investigate. More bodies soon follow, but the deceased don't seem to stay dead. One of the victims, Bea Flat, is seemingly resurrected and ready to conduct the orchestra, and ominous signs tell of a connection to something sinister. Melding myth, legend and contemporary crime fiction, Rite Judgement is a story of good against evil, of mysterious events that you can never be sure actually happened, and above all of hope and the mind's capacity to believe anything that might make dreams come true. And in the middle of it all, Jack Austin and the DaDa Detective Agency.
- Blood Sport: Wigs On The Green
3
Travelling home from London after dancing the Rite of Spring in Trafalgar Square with Sister Winifrede, Jack (nicknamed Jane) Austin and Mandy have a phone conversation with Jack's recently discovered son, Angie. Like his father before him, Angie is viewed as inept (D.C.I. Jack Austin is reputed to have never solved a crime). However, in MI5, Jack Austin is a clever bonce analyst, but that is a secret, naturally. So when Angie is appointed lead investigator into council planning decisions, it is all seen as a marvellous and most amusing side show, while the corporations and an organisation called Hegemon plunder the coastal resources of Portsmouth in the UK. However, Angie has inherited his dad’s analytical genes, and begins to reveal the undercurrents of conspiracy. But could he be the surreal defender of democracy, just as his father had been? A comedic but serious tale, 'Blood Sport' is the third book in Pete Adams's DaDa Detective Agency series.
