"Just say the magic words" Book synopsis (The back of the book says)There was something wrong! Just as the boiling water was about to be poured on his head and the man with the red book appeared and his life flashed before his eyes, Akram the Terrible, the most feared thief in Baghdad, knew this had happened before. Many times. And he was damned if he was going to let it happen again. Just because he was a character in a story didn't mean that it always had to end this way. Meanwhile, back in Southampton, it's a bit of a shock for Michelle when she puts on her Aunt Fatima's ring and the computer and the telephone start to bitch at her for past misdemeanors. But that's nothing compared to the story that her kitchen appliances have to tell her.This was the last of Tom Holts' books that Steve Lee made the cover for.

Quotes from Open SesameThe conscientious arsonist doesn't just set the building on fire; first he fills the fire extinguishers with petrol. Human beings can get used to virtually anything, given plenty of time and no choice in the matter whatsoever. |
