Heist is happy to report that Mr. E. Solver (that certain detective extraordinaire you may have read so much about) is on a hiatus between cases - recuperating for another mystery he senses may be in the wings. "I have a nose for these things," he said, while relaxing poolside at The Minsk Hilton, Belarus, "an old Solver family heirloom passed on from ladette to lad and soforth. My grandfather seemed to have acquired it sometime during the Boer War - there is a certain tribal quality to it, I admit. It's served me well ever since."
Mr. Solver, world renowned for solving baffling cases of fiendish complexity, says he hopes he won't be on holiday for too long - the nose is itching to get back to doing what it does best: sniffing out crime. "I shouldn't worry," he told Heist with confidence, "the criminal mind is like a stoat in a stovepipe: rarely still for very long. In the meantime, there's always Bruge: I hear that Belgium is particularly nice this time of year."
Heist concurs.
