Hodgkiss doesn't miss a trick. Four adventures of that cranky, obnoxious, insufferable but remarkably observant and astute senior citizen.

When a bottle flies over the high wall surrounding the car park Hodgkiss wonders if was just someone skylarking or something more sinister. Later when the owner of the house has moved back in another bottle arrives with fatal results. An accident? Hodgkiss thinks not and he makes a acute observation that points to murder.

But Hodgkiss still shows how a most ingenious murder was planned and executed.
