Summary
When the passengers on the outbound flight to Washington D.C. cannibalise the plane's de-icing system and landing gear greasing conduits to improvise an antidote to arsenic, air steward Danny is left stranded thousands of miles from home and with an uneasy sense that he's seen too much for the CIA to let him go quietly. A chance encounter with a fellow steward offers him an improbable life-line - but in a contest between the Central Intelligence Agency and MJN Air, will God be on the side of the big battalions?

Sherlock, Crown Prince of Gaaldine, is a marked man. His brother has proclaimed him an outlaw and decreed that those who knowingly assist him will share his fate.

Mrs Hudson always repays her debts. Even when that involves facing up to Lord Moran, the most ruthless assassin in the three kingdoms.

Bookmarker's Notes
Posy's letters home from her Manoff: Posy's breathless, focused, somewhat selfish voice to the life. This really captures Posy's obliviousness: the only thing that matters to her is dancing, until real-world crises manage to pop through.

The real story behind each couplet in the Gashlycrumb Tinies. Just as black as the original, and just as funny.
