Description: |
A chronic liar with few friends meets Professor Trefusis - academic, broadcaster, polyglot and admirer of Elvis Costello - and is led through an adventure that takes in Piccadilly rent-boys, a lost pornographic Dickens novel, international espionage and disgraceful scenes on a cricket field. |
Synopsis: |
Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of the Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth. Unprepared or not Adrian is led through an adventure that takes in toast, Piccadilly rent-boys, Charles Dickens's lost pornographic novel, an international espionage conspiracy, disgraceful scenes on the cricket field and a machine that compels its victims to tell the truth. |
