A Very Important Teapot
Description
Dawson’s life is going nowhere. Out of work and nearly out of money, he is forlornly pursuing the love of Rachel Whyte. But Rachel is engaged to Pat Bootle, an apparently successful local solicitor who has appeared from nowhere.
Then, out of the blue, Dawson receives a job offer from the bloke he thinks is his best friend which involves him jumping on a plane to Australia to await further instructions. Instructions which turn out to be: Go to Yackandandah.
This is the start of a frantic chase around south eastern Australia with half the local underworld, spies from three different countries, two off-duty police officers, the beautiful but mysterious Lucy Smith and a journalist with a drink problem trying to catch up with Dawson. He has no idea why.
What is Flannery’s game? Why has Pat Bootle turned up in Australia? Who exactly is Lucy Smith? What is the teapot’s secret? And how do guns actually work?
Dawson’s life will never be the same again.
A Very Important Teapot is the funniest thriller you’ll read this year.
