Ryck Ryder

There's a lot going on in Gilbert's head. Fortunately there's plenty of space to allow his delusions to rattle around. He's writing a novel set in 1950's, volatile, mob-ruled Chicago. Inspired by the adventures of his fictional hero - Rick Rider - Gilbert sets himself up as sleepy Staffordshire's latest private detective. No longer Gilbert Shaw, centre lathe turner, but Ryck Ryder, Cannock's foremost Dick.
