The Bank Inspector

One Monday morning, a bank branch is robbed. No one hurt or threatened. Not a hold-up. Not a tunnel into the vault. A three minute robbery and the robber drives away. Not followed. Not caught. A perfect, flawless crime.

Detective Sergeant Brian Shaw hardly knows where to start, especially as he is distracted by an attempted murder in a nearby street.

A story of greed, treachery and a heart-breaking family feud.

The Bank Manager

Detective Sergeant Brian Shaw is transferred to a country town.

Just an ordinary, average Australian country town where nothing ever happens — except blackmail, fornication, embezzlement, revenge, avarice, brutality, snobbery, rape … and murder.

Like any other ordinary, average Australian country town.

The Bank Teller

A top executive dies suddenly.
An accident?
A murder?
An inside job?
Hundreds of suited suspects in one city office.
Detective Sergeant Brian Shaw is recalled from Yorke Peninsula.
From sleepy country town to throbbing city throngs,
clashing personalities, old scores to be settled,
frustrated ambitions, jealousies,
and something new: female tellers.
A hotbed of suspicions from managing director to tea lady.
And who started the rumour that one of the tellers may be involved?
Why? Who?
Know why and you may know who!

On The Job

inveress — Sat, 23 May 2015 14:02:30 +0000

This is a book of satirical and humorous short stories about people working, appearing to work, or endeavouring to maintain a work position while living with a problem caused by their boss, their fellow workers, home interference, the organisation itself, or a personal physical or mental malady.

Many of the people in these stories are ordinary, reasonable folk. But as there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ person, they are all a tad different or slightly odd, as are most of us. Some are a little idiosyncratic, some have real or imaginary problems, and some should receive immediate professional assistance. They all work, or are in a work situation – and the two are not synonymous. You may have met a few of them.
