Quatrième de couverture

Following his Whitbread award-winning Swing Hammer Swing!, Jeff Torrington invites you to visit the assembly lines at the Centaur Car Company. There you will meet Curly Brogan, who, for a hoax, fakes his own death with devastating consequences; Wormsley, the cuckolded nut-and-bolt man; and the Martians from the top management. And watch what happens when the Devil turns up to claim his own.
