The Stripy Blade
A Mystery
by The Invisible Man



The derelict, country town of Philadelphia holds a secret.

Tony Handcock has the perfect life working as a police officer in the city and running with his giving girlfriend, Rolinda Witches.

However, when he finds a stripy blade in his cellar, he begins to realise that things are not quite as they seem in the Handcock family.

A Christening leaves Tony with some startling questions about his past, and he sets off to deserted Philadelphia to find some answers.

At first the people of Philadelphia are modest and lovable. He is intrigued by the curiously hopeful gardener, Rosie Palm. However, after she introduces him to hard social media, Tony slowly finds himself drawn into a web of jealousy, vandalism and perhaps, even kidnap.

Can Tony resist the charms of Rosie Palm and uncover the secret of the stripy blade before it's too late, or will his demise become yet another Philadelphia legend?
