Their little Morris Minor becoming something of a friend to an old Frenchman. The old boy
network is somewhat over strained and not all the police are what they seem. Entwined in
this stew of characters is the IT guy, in a race against time to discover just who or
what is behind the turmoil.
With ever increasing urbanisation of the southern counties we should all be aware of the consequences of washing the car once too often. With his wit and insight the author shows us how a small change can have massive ramifications. Interwoven with international intrigue, the plot takes us on a journey through the lives of people in a rural community. With many misunderstandings, misadventures and some very colourful characters we are whisked along as the tide comes in. A tide that is both funny and sad, there are moments when you are not sure just who to believe.
