There was something wrong! Just as the boiling water was about to be poured on his head and the man with the red book appeared and his life flashed before his eyes, Akram the Terrible, the most feared thief in Baghdad, knew this had happened before. Many times. And he was damned if he was going to let it happen again. Just because he was a character in a story didn't mean that it always had to end this way. Meanwhile, back in Southampton, it's a bit of a shock for Michelle when she puts on her Aunt Fatima's ring and the computer and the telephone start to bitch at her for past misdemeanors. But that's nothing compared to the story that her kitchen appliances have to tell her.

About the Author:
Tom Holt's first book was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror, he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford however he discovered Bar Billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.
Review:
'Tom Holt stands out on his own... If you havn't read any Tom Holt, go out and buy one now. But don't blame me for any laughter-induced injuries.' VECTOR 'Witty and eccentric... dazzling, neat, frivolous.' TIME OUT 'Frantically wacky and wilfully confusing... gratifyingly clever and very amusing.' MAIL ON SUNDAY, NIGHT AND DAY 'Always enjoyable.' STARBURST 'fast and funny.' SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY
