John Sharky comes out of Wormwood Scrubs after ten years for a murder he did not commit. Empty pockets and a train pass was about as rich as he was going to get today, apart from the thanks he got for helping people going home.
Some years before, his mother and father were murdered in their private detective agency in sunny Essex. Just to make his day so much easier, John got home, and the house was empty, not even a wife.
You can't trust a pig-he knows this from the weekend he spent in a cell. It's just as bad as the screw who kicked and damaged his leg and gave him a limp for the journey home.
Major Bartholomew Otanes made an appearance with the receipt for the sale of the agency. He has the first showdown with John Starky in the Rockin' Robin.
