In desperation, he turns for help to a Chinese businessman who befriended him at the airport - with disastrous results. The student disappears and his university tutor calls in the police to investigate. Meanwhile people other than the police are investigating the university for a disappearance of an altogether different kind.... Paul Gubbins is an editor, writer and journalist who has published widely in the international language Esperanto. This is his first novel in English. He lives in the northwest of England with his wife, two cats and a garden railway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Gubbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909039497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909039490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Generation Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Paul Gubbins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486262997247,"sku":"9781909039490","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_211f9ac8-dbd2-4069-856e-e480f4f40005.jpg?v=1778054605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laddies-and-generalmen-paul-gubbins-9781909039490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
