Synopsis

Leaving Swindon behind her, to hide out in the Well of Lost Plots - where all fiction is created - Thursday Next, Literary Detective and soon-to-be one-parent family, settles down in an unpublished novel of dubious merit. Her husband, Landen, exists only in her memories and with threats in the real world, the safest place for her is inside the covers of a book.
But something rotten in the state of fiction. The much-awaited upgrade from the old book system - in which grammasites will be exterminated, punctuation standardised and the number of possible plots increased from eight to an astonishing 32 - is only weeks away. But if this is the beginning of a golden age, why are Jurisfiction agents mysteriously dying? Perkins is eaten by the Minotaur, Snell succumbs to the Mispeling Vyrus and Godot is missing. It is up to Thursday to unmask the villain responsible and establish what the upgrade really entails . . .
