Satchmo Turner is a failed private detective from the rusting heart of the Black Country who is reeling from the loss of his sister and fiancee. He's going nowhere at work, and treading water in life, until he picks up a simple missing person case and stumbles into something much bigger. 

Satchmo soon finds himself in over his head and embroiled a hunt for ancient treasure, unrequited love, violence and murder in a quiet English village stocked with a cast of characters he could never have imagined.

Praise for Quid Pro Quo from Wattpadders:
"Damn you for writing such a good book. I'm dead serious when I say you should look to get it published."

"Overall, I think it's a great book and something I'd expect to see on a shelf in a bookstore somewhere."

"I read another chapter and devoured the whole damn thing over an afternoon."

"All-in-all the book was thoroughly enjoyable and very professionally written. Definitely better than almost everything else that I have encountered on Wattpad... it was a compelling read."

"Your style of storytelling is lovely to read. I'm trying desperately to convince my husband to sign up to Wattpad so he can read it too."

❤SHORTLISTED WATTPAD INDIA AWARDS 2020❤ Book #1 (AND series) [COMPLETED ✔] ABOUT THE STORY: Sanchi (or Vanya Patel) works as a crime journalist in the city of Ujjain. She has many flaws in her even though she possesses a heart of gold, a chubby personality and a lovable face to fall for. But her biggest flaw is her tongue, the one which stutters every time she speaks something and a flawed past which she is scared of disclosing before the world. Vihaan Singh Bundela, the very famous, stout-figured and arrogant Deputy Commissioner of Police under the CBI, is well known as one of the toughest, roughest and fiercest officers that Indore Police have ever witnessed. Two things he despises the most in life: (i) every woman he comes across and, (ii) every other thing which stutters. Also, he has a dead and buried past which many are unaware of. What will happen when the woman he gets tied to coincidentally, stutters in the tongue every minute fuelling the situation for him? What will happen when the two opposite poles are compelled by destiny to meet and forced by fate to agree for a contractual marriage? What will happen when their dead and buried secrets start unravelling gradually before each other? Will their horrendous pasts rip them apart without overcoming their differences? Or will they be able to accept each other's flaws and promise to live together till eternity? ***Peep inside to know more*** Copyright © 2019. All rights reserved.
