A new entry: Hob Draconian

Hob Draconian viveva ormai da anni a Ibiza. Era lui che si era messo sulle tracce del Soma dopo un assassinio avvenuto a Parigi, era lui che - senza volerlo - aveva rischiato la vita provandone gli effetti. Don Gennaro aveva più volte cercato di contattarlo ma non c'era mai riuscito. Aveva solo saputo che era un aging ex-hippie not exactly swimming in a sea of career opportunities il che, in termini pratici, significava che il ragazzo non navigava nell'oro. Forse questa era la chiave. Gli mandò, fermo posta Ibiza, 1000 dollari come acconto (senza specificare altro). Avrebbe dovuto trovarsi a più presto nella sala da pranzo di La Mere Poulard, a Mont Saint Michel.

Hob Draconian - Who's who
Ex-hippie and sometime p.i. Hob Draconian generally is pleased with life. After moving to the small Spanish isle of Ibiza during the 60s he decided to start the Alternative Detective Agency -- mostly as an alternative to steady employment. But clients actually showed up and Hob was in business. His latest client wants him to investigate the death of his brother from an overdose of a new drug called Soma, a powerful narcotic which has been making its way around the chic set in Paris. Hob's investigation will lead him from Paris to Ibiza to London and back again as he becomes embroiled in an international drug ring and the strange cult that uses the drug. Hob has only his wits and his not inconsiderable charm to assist him in cracking the drug ring and keeping himself alive.
