What happens when you are witness to a crime that takes place in both the past, present and future? You call on the Infinites! In this swift, smart sequel, Elle and her fellow time-travelling sleuths must track down the stolen Infinity-Glass and return it to its right place before the shadowy group known only as The Vicious Circle can use it to tear apart the thin threads of space-time. From 2021 to 2048 to 1752, the chase is on and Elle must out-wit and out-smart her adversaries whilst dodging flying cars, escaping future criminals and wrestling words with Dr. Samuel Johnson, the creator A Dictionary of the English Language. A triumphant return from Patience Agbabi who weaves poetry and pace around science and fiction into a story that is as quick-witted and wise as it is thrilling and fun.Compulsive, electric reading!
