<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the second adventure by the bestselling author of the Thursday Next novels, "nursery crime" characters Jack Spratt and Mary Mary take on their most dangerous case so far, as a murderous cookie (The Gingerbread Man) menaces the streets of Reading.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Return to the world of the Nursery Crime Division in this novel from Jasper Fforde, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Thursday Next series and <i>The Constant Rabbit</i></b> <p/> The inimitable Jasper Fforde gives readers another delightful mash-up of detective fiction and nursery rhyme, returning to those mean streets where no character is innocent. The Gingerbreadman--sadist, psychopath, cookie--is on the loose in Reading, but that's not who Detective Jack Spratt and Sergeant Mary Mary are after. Instead, they've been demoted to searching for missing journalist "Goldy" Hatchett. The last witnesses to see her alive were the reclusive Three Bears, and right away Spratt senses something furry--uh, <i>funny</i>--about their story, starting with the porridge. <i>The Fourth Bear</i> is a delirious new romp from our most irrepressible fabulist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Jasper Fforde is able to write diabolically. . . . Outrageous satirical agility is his stock in trade. (<i>The New York Times</i>) <p/>Like the creators of . . . <i>The Simpsons</i> and <i>South Park</i>, Mr. Fforde uses fantasy to dissect real life. . . . He is our best thinking personÆs genre writer. (<i>The Washington Times</i>) <p/>Mr. Fforde manages to bombard the reader with more bizarre detail than most writers would dare to fit in their entire oeuvre, yet he does so with . . . light prose and easy, confident wit. (<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jasper Fforde</b> traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page. He lives and writes in Wales. The <i>Eyre Affair</i> was his first novel in the bestselling Thursday Next series. He is also the author of the Nursery Crime series.<p> </p><p> </p>
