Of Mice and Murderers: Meet Big Bob Zapolska (Z for short), an unlicensed private eye who reads detective fiction for self improvement.
Low-rent private eye that he is, Z does not usually get cases that turn into murder, to say nothing of multiple murder. Nor is he often called upon to help solve "classy" cases like the theft of a painting from Kansas City’s Nelson Art Gallery. And never before has he run into something as spooky as the Bateman College "ghost light,’ the light seeming, in some way, to be the key to these other crimes.
Big Bob Zapolska may be a loner. He may be a loser. He may, in fact, be a dangerous pyromaniac. But if someone has cheated you — if someone is crowding you — it’s good to have the Z-man on your side!
Of further help to him are his personal beliefs:
– Never break the law — unless you have to.
– Tell the truth when possible — it’s hard to remember lies.
– If you blackjack a man correctly, he will rarely suffer permanent brain damage.
– In the right hands [Z’s], fire is an excellent motivator.
– To avoid temptation — give in to it immediately.
Good Lord, Deliver Us: How lowly P.I. Bob Zapolska came to be chaperoning a girl ghost hunter, was difficult to figure. How he got himself into "haunting" a ghost house, was impossible to explain. As for avoiding the charms of "frolicsome" ghost hunter, Jamie Stewart, Z could only follow one of his own rules: "To avoid temptation, give in to it immediately!"
Murder by Candlelight: How does Z handle it when casual contact with a sleazy radio personality gets Z into trouble with the police, the Department of Building Codes, the IRS, and someone who attempts to frame Z for drug possession? Not to worry! If Big Bob Zapolska can’t outwit, or out trick his many "opponents," nobody can!
