In 'Bad Neighbours', Trudy, Alysson, the owner of the property, and most of the street, are victimised, any hour of the day and night, by a rowdy drug fiend, Trixie. while police and public health agencies are only concerned about Trixie's civil rights and political correctness. Unexpected allies come up with a shady solution. Alysson meets a sinister character in 'Death at a Railway Station' and a few snake charmers in 'The Snake Charmer'. In the final stories, a feisty, red-haired private investigator, Kristy, tracks down various mysterious characters, including a runaway house wife, Isobel, Lindsay, a university student, and his mysterious wife, Tamsin. Kristy also searches for a mysterious hacker who isn't what he seems. She is put in danger by a shady character in 'The Cult'.
