The Gingerbreadman - psychopath, sadist, convicted murderer and cake/biscuit - is loose on the streets of Reading. It isn`t Jack Spratt`s case. Despite the success of the Humpty Dumpty investigation, the well publicised failure to prevent Red Riding-Hood and her Gran being eaten once again plunges the Nursery Crime Division into controversy. Enforced non-involvement with the Gingerbreadman hunt looks to be frustrating until a chance encounter at the oddly familiar Deja-Vu Club leads them onto the hunt for missing journalist Henrietta `Goldy` Hatchett, star reporter for The Daily Toad. The last witnesses to see her alive were The Three Bears, comfortably living out a life of rural solitude in Andersen`s wood. But all is not what it seems....

"The Football Factory" is on one level the most authentic book you`re likely to read about the culture surrounding a group of Chelsea "football hooligans", but it is much more than that. Mixed in with graphic descriptions of gang violence are wonderful vignettes about laundry women, old men, small children and warehouse dreamers. In short, a spicy (and very funny) slice of inner-city London life." Mark Piggot Формат: 11 см х 18 см.
