Crime writer, John Goodwin has put together this eclectic collection of his shorter works. It is intended to allow readers to dip in when they have a few minutes to kill without having to break off midway due to pressing business. However it does contain a compelling five part period drama that might tempt you to read on. The Short stories and articles, both humorous and philosophical. include the famous "Socks" trilogy and are sprinkled with the odd poem and the authors personal comments.
