| Synopsis: |
After nearly blowing the whistle on his hopelessly corrupt bosses' expense-fiddling at Her Majesty's Department of Tax & Revenue Affairs, maverick taxman, Peter Figgis, is sent off on Operation Wild Goose to investigate alleged VAT fraud at game fairs. He doesn't find any. What he does find is a game fair company, Gewgaw Limited, fronting an international drugs cartel run by evil sociopath and pervert, Ieuan Henge. Helped by American flunky, Walton, Central Asian vamp, Russlana, and an array of other incompetent ne'r-do-wells, Henge needs to secure funding from Mexican and Middle Eastern investors whilst simultaneously trying to assassinate the previous owners of Gewgaw Limited, Penelope and Croesus, who are reluctant to abandon the family business. Follow Peter Figgis as he travels the game fair circuit encountering Mexican drug dealers, wayward falcons, vengeful bosses, ghillie suits, rumours of inter-species sex, potatoes, murderers, mastiff-owners, unchristian language, cider, other traders, small black terriers and - even before the apocalyptic climax at Halfrod Hall Game Fair - love, in the comely form of under-cover police sergeant, Jayne Harvey |
