Travelling home from London after dancing the Rite of Spring in Trafalgar Square with Sister Winifrede, Jack (nicknamed Jane) Austin and Mandy have a phone conversation with Jack's recently discovered son, Angie.

Like his father before him, Angie is viewed as inept (D.C.I. Jack Austin is reputed to have never solved a crime). However, in MI5, Jack Austin is a clever bonce analyst, but that is a secret, naturally. So when Angie is appointed lead investigator into council planning decisions, it is all seen as a marvellous and most amusing side show, while the corporations and an organisation called Hegemon plunder the coastal resources of Portsmouth in the UK.

However, Angie has inherited his dad’s analytical genes, and begins to reveal the undercurrents of conspiracy. But could he be the surreal defender of democracy, just as his father had been?

A comedic but serious tale, 'Blood Sport' is the third book in Pete Adams's DaDa Detective Agency series.
