About this ebook
Bad is the new good.
In the not too distant future the European Union enacts its most far reaching human rights legislation ever. The incompetent have been persecuted for too long. After all it's not their fault they can't do it right, is it? So it is made illegal to sack or otherwise discriminate against anyone for being incompetent.
And now a murder has been committed and our possibly incompetent detective must find out who the murderer is. As long as he can find directions to get him through the mean streets.

In typical Rob fashion, we have a hilarious view of the future which, for me, is exactly where I see it going. Bio degradable shoes, leather is cruel, great idea till your carrot shoes get wet. Car clamping companies that clamp your car for illegal parking, at the showroom, on a car that cant be moved, because it has no dashboard, because someone stole the anti theft device. Being a Detective in a world full of Incompetent people is no fun, but funny to read. Love it.

I love Rob Grant books and this is certainly had potential to be another clever and brilliant Grant book, but sadly this is by far his weakest book , predictably formulaic and just not under to his usual standards , from another author this would be a good book , from Rob Grant its just so average
