In the town of Morley Farms, detective Simon Harper, a retired police officer, is
well known for his intelligence, quick wit, and ability to solve even the most
difficult of crimes. Due to his experience serving with the police, he is wellversed in the intricacies of all manner of crimes, from petty theft through to
murder. He often works alongside the police to solve a variety of mysteries.
He works in his office on Douglas Street; a respectable building to fit with a
respectable man. Comfort and practically are the hallmarks of this small office,
where the rent is cheap, and the work is plentiful.
Mr. Numb Gaffer, his assistant, hasn’t been working with Simon for very long
and considered himself quite ordinary when compared to his employer. With a
lot to learn about the world of detectives, he intends to learn all he can from
such a highly respected man and hopes that one day he’ll be able to start
solving crimes himself.
ABOUT YOU CAN’T ESCAPE
You Can’t Escape is a series of detective stories set in Morley Farms, featuring
Simon Harper, his assistant Mr. Numb Gaffer, and Police Inspector Mr. Marmot.
Morley Farms is set in a fictional location where people still have servants and
the police routinely seek help outside the force. While set on Earth, and bearing
many similarities to our own world, it is set in a completely different timeline.
Picking the Wrong One is the first story of the series. In this story, a jewel is
stolen from inside of a computerized mechanical safe. Simon Harper must help
his friend, Tamayo Judas, and the police, to solve just who stole the jewel and
how, while the story revolving around two deaths that make the plot much
more complex.
