The Italian Detective stepped off his train at Bath Spa station
It was his first visit to the City of the Caesars and he was impressed
By the sheer beauty of the buildings as the train approached the city
He needed a coffee he badly needed a coffee and hoped to find
Cafe Coffee where he was due to meet his English friend Inspector Morse
Who was already investigating the murder of Gina Gin the famous author
Of The Italian Detective a series of novels whose popularity was equal to that of Morse
Some say that she was murdered because she was so very beautiful
But the Italian Detective knew that there was more to the crime
And that if it was not solved and her future manuscripts found
That in time he would cease to exist which frightened him
He planned to once he had solved the murder of Gina Gin
To give the lost manuscripts to his wife Luisa who would ghost write
These unpublished detective stories and then without fuss continue
Under the late authors name to write the Italian Detective crime novels
If he failed then he knew that he would fade and become a ghost like Sam Spade
To be continued
