Items related to A Fairly Dangerous Thing
Featuring a youngish British schoolteacher who gets reluctantly caught up in a heist-caper. Joe Askern, whose primary concern is finding female companionship, suddenly finds himself being shadowed by one Cess Carter--the hulking father of Joe's least favorite, most juvenile-delinquent pupil. Carter needs Joe's expert help in planning a robbery of stately country-house Averingerett. The heist is on, but with complications galore: there's a fire; the crooks stumble upon a blue-blooded orgy; and Joe's off-and-on girlfriend Maggie winds up in the middle of the action, first trussed up, then helping in the escape-finale.
