Number of Pages: 245


Mildred insists that after leading the impromptu conga, knitting-needles in her hands, at the end of the Kireba Sewing Circle's monthly knees-up at Harrods, she had returned the needles to their usual place. And while she has to admit that the memory of someone born during East Africa's Great Flood of 1932 might not be entirely reliable, she has no doubt that the two paw paws have also gone missing. Suspicion first falls on Titus Ntoto, 15-year-old leader of the Mboya Boys, Kireba's toughest gang, and then on Ferdinand Mlumba, kitchen toto turned police informer, universally reviled as 'Fatboy'. The explanation of this bizarre theft (and how Fatboy wins back his name) is revealed when Jasper Japer, visiting UK television satirist, is caught up in a clash between a gang of street kids and a group of Japanese tourists. It is an encounter with devastating consequences.
