Down these mean streets - and these even meaner tunnels - a Goblin must go; tough, street-smart, one whose pride and honour separates him from the dregs, the scum of both worlds with whom, regretably, he finds it necessary to associate. A Goblin with contacts both on and below the surface, and on both sides of the Law. A Goblin who gets the job done, asking only his usual fees - plus expenses.
You have a problem? You want it dealt with quickly and very discreetly? Don't want to involve the cops or lawyers of either world? And you can afford the very reasonable fees? Then Findo Gask is the private eye you need.

The Real Findo Gask
By the way, Findo Gask is a real placename in Scotland, a little hamlet not far from Perth on the main A9 trunk route.
The road sign on the main road always gives a degree of amusement whenever I pass - as well as providing part of the inspiration for this story.
You may have already spotted that I have taken the inspiration for other character names from numerous places in the vicinity of Findo Gask.
