Rick Moreno styled himself as a skip tracer. He worked out of Houston Texas during the turbulent years of the cold war and although his job description would seem to limit his activities to chasing after bail jumpers, dead beat dads and such, his talents led him far afield into a world of political intrigue, international espionage and global politics. Ripped from the pages of history, The Case Of The Very Hot Car is presented here as recorded in Rick Moreno's Case Books, those personal diaries in which he outlined the details of his professional activities.His set of logbooks provide a glimpse into an often secret, always shadowy world inhabited by people in our government who feel it is their right to bend the rules as long as the desired outcome fits in with their idea of what is good for the rest of us.Rick Moreno is paid to ask questions but are the answers worth dying for?

Raised in Glasgow in the early months of 1915, the 'Wee Fellas' is the nickname given to a bantam battalion made up of volunteers below the army minimum regulation height of 5ft 3in. However, their deficiency in size and weight is compensated for by an inbred toughness and native cunning which works to their advantage in the trenches of the Western Front.One of the volunteers is Billy Stirling, a billiard hall manager in civilian life but more surreptitiously a protection racketeer and expert with the open razor, as enemies discover to their cost.A reluctant recruit, Billy joins the colours for reasons that have nothing to do with patriotism. But despite a fearsome reputation, this son of the tenements unexpectedly goes on to find true love in the alien environment of a rural English village - and moral redemption on the bloody battlefields of northern France.
