In the bleak outback of the USA Detective Fashion battles nature, mankind and the fiscal rate of exchange in his most challenging episode yet.

On the way to cross the border between Canada and the USA Fashion has to face up to the fact his international journey isn’t just a long case but a personal pilgrimage as he has to overcome a selection of obstacles including a snooty border patrol guard, a very big wall and (still waiting for him at home) desperate failure Sandy Borehole. In the thick of the action Fashion seems to never be at the right place at the right time.

With his mobile phone constantly ringing,a detective podcaster’s work is never done. Fashion meets as stranger, tries his hand at hitch hiking and then something explodes for no reason.
