Synopsis
Fourteen years after Thursday Next pegged out at Superhoop ‘88, her Jurisfiction job has been downgraded due to a potential conflict of interest, since her previous adventures are now themselves in print. Thursday’s time is spent worrying about her teenage son Friday and tutoring new recruits. This being fiction, however, jeopardy is never far away. Sherlock Holmes is killed at the Rheinbach falls and his series is stopped in its tracks. Before this can be righted, Miss Marple dies in a narratively inexplicable car accident, bringing her series also to a close. Thursday, receiving a death-threat clearly intended for her written self, realises what is going on – there is a serial killer is loose in the Bookworld. Meanwhile, Goliath have perfected a 22-seater Prose Portal Luxury Coach, and plan on taking literary tourists on a holiday to the works of Jane Austen. Thursday alone realises the true intent of Goliath’s unwanted incursions into fiction, but she can’t fight all these battles on her own. She must team up with the one person she really can’t get along with – the written Thursday Next, currently starring in The Great Samuel Pepys Fiasco. But it’s no time to be picky. . .
