Where Wild Birds Shriek (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914199226)

Harry Burden is classically handsome, wildly eccentric and fiercely intelligent - but he is also the single biggest nitwit Charlie Bloom has ever met. And living together in moneyed London has caused Charlie to grow quite neurotic.

So when Charlie is invited away for the weekend, he considers his options: Sit around insufflating hairspray with Harry, or get away for three days of peace and relaxation. Well, it's no choice at all really.

But when Charlie arrives in The Lake District, he quickly discovers that peace and relaxation are not what's in store for him.

Where Wild Birds Shriek is equal parts comedy, drama and madcap farce, featuring sword fights, car crashes, blackbirds, antique duelling pistols, several near-death experiences and a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle.
