Publisher's Synopsis
Literary detective Thursday Next's new adventure takes her deep inside the world of books, to anger management sessions within "Wuthering Heights", boy-racing with Miss Havisham and Mr Toad, a run-in with the Queen of Hearts and the discovery of something rotten in the state of fiction. The much-awaited upgrade from the old book system - in which grammasites will be exterminated, punctuation standardised and the number of possible plots increased from eight to an astonishing thirty-two - is only weeks away. But if this is the beginning of a golden age why are Jurisfiction agents mysteriously dying?
