Leap of Faith - Richard Hardie

Merlin is a good looking woman and madly in love with Arthur, but that's only the start of the story.

Tertia, Unita and Marlene know what they want to be... detectives with a difference. Bored with the lack of opportunity in 5^th century Camelot they start up the Temporal Detective Agency and use the great Merlin's Time Portal to relocate from Camelot to the 21st century mostly because the cases are more interesting, but also because the toilet facilities are so much better.

Things start slowly until one Sunday morning Tertia finds herself replacing Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square, involved in the thefts of the Koh-i-noor diamond and the Mona Lisa. The Agency follows the trail to South Wales in 1734 where they come up against a gang of vicious smugglers and deadly ship wreckers led by their deadliest and most unexpected enemy.

Help comes from an unexpected source, but the Temporal Detective Agency's first case could prove to be their last!

Born in the UK, Richard Hardie is a British author who started writing books for Young Adults of all ages while flying on multiple trips to Asia on business. His best known books "Leap of Faith" and "Trouble With Swords" are the first two novels in the Temporal Detective Agency series, which he maintains he will continue writing as long as his characters have fun and he can come up with plots. Richard was a Scout Leader for 15 years and some of his main characters and certainly his sense of humour were developed during his time with the Troop. Richard is married, with two kids and a cocker spaniel who loves walking long distances along the beautiful Gower Peninsular while Richard bounces plot ideas off him.
