Neptune King At Home Magda Jozsa

In this the 33rd book in the Neptune King series, Neptune and Shark bust an art theft ring, and in the process, Neptune is injured, breaking his arm and leg and becoming home-bound, much to his dismay, while Shark is left to run the office. Rachel makes the most of Neptune's incapacity to return to work full-time so she can help Shark out on cases. In their second case, The Cheating Stockbroker, Shark decides to take on a cheating husband case, which turns out to be something far more interesting than mere infidelity. In The Angry Chef, they track down a thief who stole the signature recipe from their client's restaurant. What starts of as a case of simple theft soon turns to murder. In the third case, The Visiting Corpse, the client insists on Neptune's involvement, not believing Shark when he tells him Neptune is not available. Despite this Neptune is glad of his bumptiousness when they intrude on him at home. The aspects of the case interest him. Who would dig a rotting corpse up, put it in a wheelchair and park it by a patient's bed in a rehabilitation hospital? Neptune is keen to get involved despite his disability, only he has to do it on the sly because he doesn't want Rachel to know. The Missing Corpse is a continuation of their previous case. Having solved why the corpse was dug up and proven it wasn't who it was supposed to be, leads to a second more involved case. Where is the body of Ronin Carpenter and why was it substituted? Was Carpenter dead or alive? Was this a case of pseudocide, and if so, who was involved in it? The local doc-tor, his brother, or perhaps Carpenter himself? Was he a victim or a criminal? All questions Carpenter's wife wants answered with Neptune and Shark more than happy to look into it.
