And why did the sleeping cricketer's penis burst?The investigation is fraught, as Milburn is forced to work with Diane Meredith, the sensual policewoman who stalked and harassed him nearly a year earlier. Will he fall for her wiles, again? The passage through a quagmire of suspects and potential motives is signposted by Milburn's enigmatic, surfer friend, Penfold, and a menagerie of bizarre characters.Witty and erudite, this murder mystery is a classic whodunit for the 21st Century.
