Publisher's Summary

Set during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, we meet Max Carrados, the celebrated blind detective who can read a newspaper headline with the touch of his fingers and shoot a villain by aiming at the sound of his beating heart...and Norman Conquest, the fast talking, hard hitting adventurer with a nose for trouble and a hell-rake disregard for danger, who keeps up good cheer while he biffs the baddies...and not forgetting Ben, the chivalrous and perky non-descript little man, whose thumbs itch just before ‘something ‘orrible ‘appens’ and dies a hundred deaths during every one of his unasked-for escapades.

Starring Tony Robinson, Simon Callow, Christopher Cazenove, Leslie Phillips, Lionel Jeffries, Bonnie Langford, Bill Nighy and full supporting cast.
