Présentation de l'éditeur

Janet Shirley's husband is special. He has a 'photographic brain', which wins the modest used-car salesman and his wife an easy fortune on England's most popular high-stakes TV quiz show. Recklessly, the Shirleys revel in new-found affluence, and locquacious Janet obligingly provides details of first-class travel, luxury hotels, mink coats, a bit of adultery and - ultimately, outrageously, hilariously - not entirely accidental death.
