Frankie Ferret, the star of a kids' TV series, goes missing in London and mass emotion marches on parliament. Anxious parents are up all night consoling their heartbroken little darlings. Preschool grief counsellors are on hand to deal with emergency admissions. Big businesses will take the hit if the world-famous merchandising phenomenon, Frankie Ferret, cannot be found. Celebrities plonk their smiles in front of the cameras to jump aboard the sorrow bus. One billionaire offers a massive reward. Everyone cares about Frankie. Even the the Prime Minister has his own venal motives to join the circus. The capital city strains every nerve as the London Met' Police takes up the challenge. The Scotland Yard PR machine fires up to exploit the massive potential positive spin for the police... if they can find him. Politically-correct media specialist, Chief Inspector Crispin Bissel, is in charge. He knows just the cop to spearhead the mission. He chooses his wild and sexy ex-girlfriend. Selena Fontesse, now a street cop. The machine grinds her out to the media as an eye-candy baited hook. All the while Bissel dreams of rekindling the flame of lust if not love... A totally outrageous satire. A dark British comedy combined with a romantic love story. Irreverent and cynical. An exposé of the mad media-cult whirl in which we live, where news, fake news and spin are the encrypted currencies of coercion. Do not read if you are easily offended. Contains foul and improper language and politically incorrect views. No ferrets or vegans were harmed in the writing of this book.
