Sam the Sudden

Not-so-fresh off the tramp steamer from America, Sam Shotter settles in the sleepy suburb of Valley Fields. His pastoral peace is short-lived, however, when Soapy Molloy, Dolly the Dip, and Chimp Twist arrive on the scene looking for two million dollars they seem to have mislaid in the vicinity. Not only does Sam discover he's living right bang next door to the girl of his dreams, but he's sitting, rather embarrassingly, on a goldmine. Some rather superior sleuthing will be required.

Reviews

The handsome bindings are only the cherry on top of what is already a cake without compare

—— Evening Standard

Wodehouse's idyllic world can never stale. He will continue to release future generations from captivity that may be more irksome than our own. He has made a world for us to live in and delight in.

—— Evelyn Waugh

He exhausts superlatives

—— Stephen Fry

A great summer read

—— Daily Express

The perfect summer read... with Cooper's trademark puns, a massive cast and lots of sex - it's a winner

—— Daily Express

An absolute joy

—— In Dublin

Hilarious, heart warming and intensely moving

—— Yorkshire Post

Hugely gratifying in the way that only Cooper can be

—— Mail on Sunday

Triumphantly good

—— The Sunday Times

The prospect of Jilly's return, with a novel set in the glamorous international art world and promising "oodles of bad behaviour, intrigue, passion, tears and laughter", will surely cheer all but the most misanthropic

—— Bookseller

There is enough plot for several novels here (enough sex for dozens), all vividly conveyed in the author's excitable style... Her many fans will not be disappointed

—— Literary Review

This modern day mythical fantasy is Anne Rice on an epic scale, a hugely imagined world. A chiller thriller from cold of Russia, this one's been selling like hot cakes around the world
