A witty, fast-paced thriller with a dash of mathematics and a large
dose of danger Life is not going smoothly for Tom Winscombe. His
girlfriend Dorothy has vanished, taking with her all the equipment
and money of the company she ran with her friend Ali. Now Tom and
Ali are forced to eke out an awkward shared bedsit existence while
they try to work out what she is up to. Meanwhile, Tom has other
things on his mind, including how to untangle his father from a
cryptocurrency scam, how to break into a hospital in order to
interrogate an old acquaintance and what is the significance of the
messages he's been receiving from Rufus Fairbanks's LinkedIn
account. Tom and Ali's investigations lead them in a host of
unexpected and frankly dangerous directions, involving a pet
python, an offshore stag do and an improbable application of the
Fibonacci sequence. But at the end of it all, will they find
Dorothy - and will she ever be able to explain just exactly what is
going on? Praise for Jonathan Pinnock: 'Lovely stuff.' Ian Rankin
'A series of humorous, riotous mathematical mysteries.' David
Nicholls 'He makes funny and self-deprecating company.' The Herald
'Jonathan Pinnock writes compelling tales with a deliciously wicked
glint in his eye.' Ian Skillicorn, National Short Story Week
'Jonathan Pinnock is Roald Dahl's natural successor.' Vanessa
Gebbie 'Funny, clever, and sometimes brilliantly daft. A comedy
that I am sure would have made Pythagoras, Archimedes and Douglas
Adams all laugh out loud.' Scott Pack on The Truth About Archie and
