Produktbeschreibung
Two octogenarians are supposed to be planning a trip to research family history. How come they become sleuths when the uppity former mayor disappears? They don't even like James Northan, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and now reckons he's a descendant of William Shakespeare. "We're only doing what we'd hope he'd do for us," Oodles says when they first suspect he's sick or injured and lying helpless in his luxury home. "You don't really think he'd give a toss about us?" Wish-Wash says. Things go from bad to worse in this black comedy in the funny Windy Mountain series. Important local landmarks start vanishing. Demolition men try to dismantle the old men's beloved Tasmanian Tiger Museum. Oodles and Wish-Wash read in the local newspaper that they both died in a fiery car crash. It's obviously fake news but is nevertheless still very concerning at their advanced ages. Has the former mayor drowned himself in the stinky sewerage ponds or has he been kidnapped by the unsavoury newcomer to town everyone calls Messerschmitt? Enter the cow camouflage trousers, walkie-talkies and a young American who joins them on their mission to rescue Jimbo. Blokes on a Plane is the follow-up novel to Lie of the Tiger but you don't need to have read it to laugh along at this one. Whitey and the Six Dwarfs, Blokes in Donegal, Blokes in the House, Who Knew Tasmanian Tigers Eat Apples! and Who Knew Tiger Sharks also eat Apples? await with many of the same quirky characters.
