'Coming to terms with being almost dead is not that easy.' Wiggleswood, a quiet English town so small that if you blink, you'll miss it, has probably never seen so much excitement before. Ghosts, almost-ghosts and ghostly cats haunt the place. And Bill Williams of the police is not too far-off when he suspects a crime, but it is not what he thinks... To solve the case, he has to apply the mysterious principle of Wiglob. Yes, Wiglob. Don't ask me; read the book!(Click here for a peek into the book.) Almost Dead in Suburbia now available!
