Update for The Investigations of the Para-Usual

Oct 9, 2015

Excerpt from Chapter 7 of mystery-comedy novel, 'The Investigations of the Para-Usual':

‘Above average height for a lady,’ it occurred to O’Singh, mind racing.

He had until now assumed that the cabbie had been adjusting her seating position to compensate for her lack in stature.

‘Basketball socialite!’ uttered O’Singh.

Pride of place, plastered on the glove compartment, he had noticed a photograph of the driver dwarfed by acromegalic sportsmen, stars of the LA Lakers, big smiles, arms around the London taxi driver, an easy familiarity. Of course, she was wearing an LA Lakers T-shirt.

‘Does she habitually fraternise with basketball players?’ wondered O’Singh, thinking now how the cabbie might be tall in regular company but accustomed to compensating around basketball players. She might so happen to be the tallest person ever to suffer a Napoleon Complex.
