We Have Lost The Pelicans: A Humorous British Mystery

London, 2044. The St Jamesâ€™ Park pelicans have vanished â€“ just a day before the grand unveiling of the Republicâ€™s new pelican flag. At the same time, British intelligence uncovers coded messages about anti-Government activity. Who are the bird-nappers? What do they want with Londonâ€™s feathered treasures? And what evil geniuses lurk behind those secret messages? Britainâ€™s hungriest secret agent, Howie Pond â€“ licence to lunch â€“ reluctantly agrees to try and find out.

Howieâ€™s newshound fiancÃ©e, Britt, has a secret mission of her own â€“ to identify the mysterious owner of Windsor Castle. That means calling on the help of her straight-talking American alter ego â€“ the appropriately named Pellie Cann. And to add to the chaos, Howie and Britt are supposed to be getting married tomorrow...

POPULAR QUOTES:

"There was no point dwelling on the past. Not when there were mini doughnuts to be eaten in the present."

"Howie wasn't a religious man, but he imagined that, if there was a heaven, it wouldn't be too different from this canteen. But the real heaven would probably have larger portions. A wider choice of puddings. And free coffee refills."

"The media never let anything inconvenient like facts get in the way of a good headline.'

"Howie wondered to himself why human beings had never developed the ability to shut their ears, as well as their eyes."

"He was forty-two years old but, the way he felt right now, retirement couldn't come quickly enough. But that was probably more than two decades away. How many management meetings, slide presentations and useless training courses would he have to endure before that golden day arrived?"

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY

"Fabulous book for all the people who enjoy thrilling stories and loads of comedy."

"Highly entertaining and fast paced read for futuristic mystery lovers...charged with a ribald dry sense of humor. Can't wait for the next installment in this series."

"You know how sometimes you love a book so much that you can't stop reading, then when you finish, you are mad at yourself for reading it too fast? That's how Paul Mathews' books are. The characters from his first book return and quickly find themselves in non-stop madness. I was trying so hard not to break out in giggles, the gentleman next to me on a plane asked if I was OK. That's the sign of a great book."

"An entertaining and engaging story that I loved reading...full of likeable characters, funny quirks and I can't wait for the final installment. The plot moves quickly and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked until the end."
