Just who is Robert Lee? And more importantly, where is he? All attempts to locate him have failed. Muncaster private detective, Dick Privet, hired to discover his whereabouts, drew a blank, a face that resembled a potato, and a three legged horse. But, enough of his artistic failings; what did he discover about the elusive Robert Lee? Rumour (and a plea for help in the form of a note attached to a carrier pigeon's leg) has it that the unfortunate scribe is being held against his will in Muncaster's asylum. Other than the one attached to Lucky, his Jack Russell terrier, this was the only lead Dick had. Keen to get to the truth, he tried to gain access to the asylum, but was prevented from doing so by the gargantuan Igor, the over-enthusiastic doorkeeper whose job is to ensure the inmates remain within its four walls. Even though it does not come within his job description, he also enjoys keeping everyone else without, a task he undertakes with relish, and sometimes with tomato ketchup - as poor Dick Privet found to his cost. After the offending bottle had been removed, Dick Privet took it to the local recycling centre, and his suspicions to the local constabulary. DC Shirley Combs, still emotionally and mentally traumatised by the unsavoury incident in Muncaster United's dressing room, took on the investigation and interviewed the Asylum's director, Dr Edmund Latimer, who said: - Robert Lee? Never heard of him. We haven't got any writers imprisoned in the attic with reams of paper, an endless supply of quills and a large vat of ink. Cross my heart and hope to... aaarrrrgghh... Robert Lee's whereabouts, and his identity, remain a mystery.
