Ist Schokolade wirklich so ungesund? Ooooooh ja! Es war einmal ein Jack, der wollte in der großen Stadt sein Glück machen. Munter zog er los, doch er verirrte sich. Tapfer wanderte er weiter, bis die Landkarte zu Ende war, und so schritt er einfach über sie hinaus und gelangte nach Toy City (früher Toy Town). Groß ist sie geworden, diese einst so putzige Stadt. Groß und gefährlich: Denn ein Serienkiller geht um in Toy City und bringt alle Märchentanten um die Ecke. Bill Winkie, der Privatschnüffler, hat alle Nase voll zu tun, als er sich in ein episches Abenteuer stürzt, das den Leser an den Rande seines Verstandes führen wird.
A hilarious comic fantasy from the bestselling cult creator of the Brentford Triangle Trilogy
Once upon a time Jack set out to find his fortune in the big city. But the big city is Toy City, formerly known as Toy Town, and it has grown considerably since the good old days and isn't all that jolly any more. And there is a serial killer loose on the streets. The old, rich nursery rhyme characters are being slaughtered one by one and the Toy City police are getting nowhere in their investigations. Meanwhile, Private Eye Bill Winkie has gone missing, leaving behind his sidekick Eddie Bear to take care of things.
Eddie may be a battered teddy with an identity crisis, but someone's got to stop the killer. When he teams up with Jack, the two are ready for the challenge. Not to mention the heavy drinking, bad behaviour, car chases, gratuitous sex and violence, toy fetishism and all-round grossness along the way. It's going to be an epic adventure!
