099: Black Orchid

Krynoid PodCast

"A delightfully unexpected afternoon."

Well it won't take up much of your afternoon and there's very little that's unexpected here.

For this is Black Orchid - a ripping yarn of bronchial brothers, lippy bookworms, smutty absentees and a child bride who's passed around like a gold ball at a Telosian rugby match.

But who is the tweed-trousered killer who's friends with an Amazonian Indian?
