England has never had a Prime Minister who made people laugh so much. His jokes have the nation in stitches. Parliament has become like a music hall stage on which he entertains the House with his unique brand of humour - humour that is often coarse and vulgar, and majors on flatulence in all its nauseous guises. But ironically it is the much-maligned fart that may ultimately bring about the Prime Minister's scandalous downfall ... Following in the long tradition of scatological British humour previously practised by authors such as Tom Sharpe and Spike Milligan, A Stink in the Tale is a rip-roaring comedy-thriller replete with intrigue, adventure and unexpected twists and turns. Telos Publishing is proud to present the hilarious debut novel by Evgeny Gridneff - who in an earlier career was script editor and producer on numerous acclaimed BBC drama series, including Tenko, Blott on the Landscape, Star Cops and The House of Eliott.
