“Not just another book about serial-killing monks who travel through time and wear Union Jack flip-flops.” – Unusual Footwear Monthly

When Horace Tweed is commissioned to travel back through time in search of the long extinct Holey Snail, the quest leads him and his co-adventurers to Ancient Greece and a variety of near-death encounters with beings both mythological and not so mythological.

Meanwhile, Detective Chief Inspector Harper Collins is trying to track down a secret order of serial-killing monks – the same monks who are determined to thwart Horace in his quest.
