A freak accident on the bottling line precedes some bizarre events for reluctant undercover investigator Mark Fairley. In The Accidental Spurrt, a spell-binding yet side-splitting tale of mystery, danger, greed, jealousy, pathos, death and in-fighting between shadowy international forces, Walt Pilcher takes an irreverent look at the multi-billion-dollar energy drink industry. His hero, Fairley, is pitched in at the deep end, up to his neck and sinking, before he realizes this is a medium in which he does not know how to swim. A worthy successor to Pilcher's Everybody Shrugged.
