Publisher's Synopsis
The sixties are just beginning to swing and Ant and Belle are happy, by and large, to help their daddy (failing Scots aristocrat Tam Sinclair) in his quest for Nobel fame and glory by digging up the corpses his life's work requires. However, Tam has another, far more personal use for the bodies they bring him.Meanwhile, poor Daisy, the girls' younger sister; unwitting witness to tragedy as a toddler and now shunned even by faithful old MacAngus, sits dreaming in her room at the top of the stairs with only her unnatural companion and unnusual hobbies for company.Find out what happens when, on the eve of Tam finally realising his cherished but oft-ridiculed vision, fate flings a spanner in the works with the arrival of a very unwelcome visitor to their remote ancestral home."I wish I'd written this!"- M.W. Shelley"Funniest thing I've read in ages!"- Adam Roberts
