Quietly Dangerous

The Life and Times continue with plenty of crash-bang.
Ian Stanton was given the nickname of "Deadly Dangerous" during police training, not as a compliment but as a sarcastic joke. In practice he does turn out to be deadly dangerous when he needs to be in his role as a police officer and detective.
Now as an Inspector, he can be just as dangerous but in a quieter way with a mystery stabbing, a black cube, powders that go bang, a hammer blow, a man lost at sea and poisons back in fashion. Then there is the saga of the rescued worm, French mothers making a statement and action from Beatrice The SuperBarbie.
The story continues with more crime, danger, bravery, deception, punishment, love, retribution, revenge, sex, humour, a little bit of fast car, some slightly stronger zen magic and a tight fluffy jumper.
