Paperback. When Robert kicks his sister's beloved piggy bank, Trevor, out of the window he sets in motion a chain of events that results in the unexpected demise of a local fishmonger. Having developed a taste for blood and sick to death of sneering, imbecilic adults, Robert sets about becoming the real murderer he has always dreamed of being, all the while egged on by the newly-talking Trevor.

Synopsis

When Robert kicks his sister's beloved piggy bank, Trevor, out of the window he sets in motion a chain of events that results in the unexpected demise of a local fishmonger. Having developed a taste for blood and sick to death of sneering, imbecilic adults, Robert sets about becoming the real murderer he has always dreamed of being, all the while egged on by the newly-talking Trevor. Meanwhile, in the mind-numbingly boring offices of local paper The Kent Clarion, work experience student Philip Bottering wishes for something, anything to report on - preferably a juicy disaster.

Based on the novel by Doctor Who's Tom Baker, this madly-hilarious, frenetic scream of a show, which includes shark-mauling beach-goers, burning vicars and even waltzing rats, is a multi-rolling masterpiece that tells the gloriously grisly tale of one scoundrel's attempt at infamy.
