Synopsis

THE BOOK- A journey down the assembly lines of the Centaur Car Company borders on the surreal and it's studded with bizarre characters. Torrington's jinking, needle sharp wit constrasts brilliantly with the grit and banter of factory life in this enjoyable, energtic and original work of fiction.

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.
