Informationen zum Autor Toby Clements lives in London where he reviews crime novels for a national newspaper, and where he keeps a who's who in crime fiction on his desk. Klappentext "Engaging, clever, funny" Mail on Sunday There is a body in the library of Cuff College, Oxford, Alma Mater of the world's most famous fictional detectives. The only clues? The enormous spear sticking out of the victim's chest. And the price tag from an IKEA duvet. The police are baffled. So junior tutor Tom Hurst must recruit four of the College's most celebrated graduates to find the killer - before it's too late. From Botswana: Mma Delicious Ontoaste From Sweden: Inspector Burt Colander From Scotland: Inspector Scott Rhombus From America: Doctor Faye Carpaccia Together, perhaps these international supersleuths can solve the case - if only they can stop arguing and get to IKEA before it shuts ... Toby Clements follows his bestselling The Asti Spumante Code with four thrillers in one, an uproarious and hilarious murder mystery that will seem oddly familiar to readers of Alexander McCall Smith, Henning Mankell, Ian Rankin and Patricia Cornwell. Zusammenfassung Tom Hurst, a junior lecturer at the College, breaking every rule of the whodunnit genre, follows a trail of arcane clues that leads him to Botswana and Mma Delicious Ontoast. His investigations then take him to Sweden and Burt Colander; to Edinburgh, where he is grudgingly helped by DI John "Just-Now" Rhombus; and to Richmond, Virginia.
