Smuggling Designer Cats

eBook Smuggling Designer Cats, back cover blurb

Set in the Norfolk Broads, the UK East Coast and the Netherlands there will be humour, tragedy and boating. Robbie Stevens is three years on from his fumbling, newbie private detective days, detailed in the book Sacking Robbie Stevens. He is now Norfolk’s most famous private detective with an ordinary name living on a boat with a cat called Drinkwater.

This summer there’s been something of a flood of unlicensed wild cat kittens for sale on the black market. Electric bikes are being stolen (those at the Rambo end of the design spectrum rather than those at the Granny Goes Shopping end). An old man successfully combines ranting and rowing (it may not end well). A fisherman catches an eye and the award winning author, Ptarmigan Todd, is being stalked… Robbie is going to be busy.

This book is due to be published in 2026 but as a Preview or Taster or Punishment you can download the first three chapters in epub format which can be viewed in almost all eReaders - I use the excellent ReadEra app which is both free and ad free!.

Praise for Philip’s previous novels include:

… at times I found myself laughing out loud … Beautifully written and love the atmosphere of the Norfolk Broads.

Jane on Goodreads

I finished the book in one sitting and the end surprised me … The ending gives a poignancy to the entire book …
