Addressed to Kill

The computer boffins call it artificial intelligence, Millie Defoe called it 'Dad'. When stock market analyst Dougal Defoe is ‘kidnapped’ via his computer the Police didn't want to know because the real Mr. Dougal Defoe had already died from natural causes several weeks earlier. If the police couldn't help who could? Enter one ‘off-the-wall’ computer genius Benny Vaults, and his long suffering business partner Gerry Mettle; add the beautiful Millie Defoe, still grieving for her father and finally add Peavis Van Beamon, a sadistic commercial megalomaniac who has stolen Millie's father's alter ego computer personality. Gerry and Benny run a small business as computer consultants. Gerry is sane, his partner Benny would strain anyone’s sanity. Benny's latest delusion is of being a private detective and has, unknown to Gerry, placed an advert proclaiming as much in the local paper. Despite Gerry's initial reluctance he is convinced by Benny, and by Millie's desperation, that they should take on their first case.
