The Abominable Snowman

About the Book

The Abominable Snowman introduces readers to Joe Cooper and Digby Wilson, two former police officers now working as private enquiry agents. The story begins when media magnate Donald Ridgeway approaches them to help him find his lost greatgrandson. While most people view Ridgeway as a rich man with no children, he reveals that he was married to a European woman named Anna long before he came to Australia. He got separated from her during the turmoil of events in Eastern Europe at the end of World War II. It turns out that Anna gave birth to a girl six months after their marriage. Their daughter later married an East German and together, with a child of their own, they tried to escape to the West. In the attempt the husband was killed but his daughter and granddaughter were successful. They continued to live in West Berlin and his granddaughter married and gave birth to two children. One of them, Ridgeway’s greatgrandson Matthew, has gone missing, and the millionaire could do nothing to find him. Can Joe and Digby help Ridgeway find him? Only time can tell.
