Waiting for Godalming

THE THIRD AND FINAL BOOK IN THE “COMPLETELY BARKING MAD” TRILOGY in which Lazlo Woodbine’s tracks down the most notorious murderer of all time, with the aid of Barry the sprout.

God is dead! He died in mysterious circumstances leaving several children, a very angry wife and a great deal of valuable property. But if somebody killed Him, then just who did it and how? Why are blue-quilled wrong’uns stalking the earth? This is a who-dun-it on a Biblical scale!

As cases come they don’t get any bigger than this. And if you need the best, forget the rest, there’s only one detective to call. Lazlo Woodbine, private eye. He’s the king of them all, ya’all. With Laz you can expect a lot of gratuitous sex and violence, a great deal of toot being talked in bars, a trail of corpses, a generous helping of trench-coat humour and a really spectacular rooftop ending.

So join Laz, Barry the Holy Guardian Brussels sprout, Icarus Smith the relocator, Captain Ian Drayton and Johnny Boy to solve this inexplicable crime and find out why you should never visit a floral clock at night, and what really goes on underneath Mornington Crescent underground station, in this explosive finale to Rankin’s strangest work to date.
