In the title story, Inspector Dreadlock Holmes and his sidekick
Rudeyard Fly are sent for by the Criminal Investigation Department
of Middleham-by-Sea - a little town known for tea shops, pet shops,
and florists - in short, a rustic retreat for naughty weekends.
Keen to kick-start their diversity policy, the Department sends for
two Black cops who see this as a chance to prove their
cross-cultural mettle and solve the brutal attack on Lord Montagu,
a controversial political figure found unconscious with a courgette
by his side. In other stories, an Anansi spider stows away on the
Windrush, Cod and Chips are usurped by Chicken Tikka Marsala, and a
white landscape gardener who admires Capability Brown has a
mixed-race child, Cosmopolitan Brown, who is dispossessed by voices
from history, including that of Martin Luther King. Surreal and
playful, John Agard's stories reveal hidden truths that subtly
change our view of who we are and where we come from.
