Book Description
A small diverse group of people on New Zealand's West Coast gather together and cause their own varying forms of mayhem. From Grannie the self-important little Irishwoman, to Dr Kavoski the suspected Russian spy, Jock the wily Scotsman, Nellie the schoolteacher and Eliza the maidenly lady, they interweave with other West Coast characters in an amusing drama. Bungling police become involved, and so too, does the spaced-out hippy couple, forever searching for their Utopia, their cosmic destiny.
The intuitive and cunning Dr Kavoski and his sidekick Jock move to a small West Coast town where they feel at home, and in control of their nefarious activities. Several spanners in the works come in the form of the hot-tempered, bold and suspecting Grannie O'Shaunnessy, schoolteachers Nellie and the gay Rupert, as well as love-starved Miss Eliza Spinks, and a crime busting operation set up on the West Coast to catch drug peddlers. Rupert bewails his broken relationship, but takes a shine to the handsome cop. Full of mischief to help ease his boredom, Dr Kavoski becomes involved in all sorts of incidents, including the scandalous incident at the kiddies' concert, and being under deep suspicion by local police. This only adds to the doctor's joy in creating more mischief and drama to keep everyone on their toes. A few days' respite out at a farm almost turns into disaster, but is saved by the diversion of a reeking hippy couple, arriving at the farm in the nick of time. This story is the first in a series.
