A Light in the Darkness is the first in a series of black comedy/crime/mystery narratives. In this story, Haszard is shocked at the death of a friend, and is intrigued by the circumstances. Known for becoming involved in such matters, his friends attempt to talk him out of it, but he doesn't listen. As he progresses, his love-life improves dramatically when he meets the woman of his dreams, and his chances of discovering the identity of the perpetrator are boosted when he befriends a local businessman who has many resources at his fingertips. As inroads are made, life becomes dangerous for Haszard, and attempts on his life are made yet he pushes on regardless, firmly convinced that it's someone he knows. Although this is the darkest of the tales, it contains a good deal of humour, along with Haszard's cynical view of the world. It's also a tale of relationships, friendship and everyday life. Basically, it's been written to entertain, providing intrigue, action, excitement, humour and a little light romance.
