When Landen, the love of her life, is eradicated by the corrupt multinational Goliath Corporation, Thursday must moonlight as a Prose Resource Operative of Jurisfiction--the police force inside the BookWorld. She is apprenticed to the man-hating Miss Havisham from Dickens's \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e, who grudgingly shows Thursday the ropes. And she gains just enough skill to get herself in a real mess entering the pages of Poe's \"The Raven.\" What she really wants is to get Landen back. But this latest mission is not without further complications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong with jumping into the works of Kafka and Austen, and even Beatrix Potter's \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies\u003c\/i\u003e, Thursday finds herself the target of a series of potentially lethal coincidences, the authenticator of a newly discovered play by the Bard himself, and the only one who can prevent an unidentifiable pink sludge from engulfing all life on Earth. It's another genre-bending blend of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary entertainment for fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse. Thursday's zany investigations continue with \u003ci\u003eThe Well of Lost Plots\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page.
