A fashion-savvy private investigator takes you on a ride—not through one weird case, but many.

A blackmail request for valuable artwork leads to a vicious murder. Multiple poisoning murders shock a coastal town. A letter triggers a search for a person missing from a country mining town for over 120 years. Murder and the theft of the Deli Purple Sapphire awaken a curse.

These are a few of the intriguing cases taken on by Leo Budge, private investigator. What Leo lacks in experience, he makes up for in determination and natural ability. Leo is not the average P.I. but with an online Level 3 Certificate in Investigative Services and experience in men’s fashion, he is raring to go. With moral support from his Burmese cat, André, Leo is a formidable force.

“This book serves as an escape from the stress on heavyweight issues of the day. Here, Budge follows 22 of his cases with a satisfying conclusion for each, not just one long, boring case,” Sutherland says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from the book, he answered, “To be immersed in the cases of Leo Budge and finish with a smile and a nod of admiration for the man."
