Items related to Incompetence (Gollancz)
In the not too distant future the European Union enacts its most far reaching human rights legislation ever. The incompetent have been persecuted for too long. After all, it's not their fault they can't do it right, is it? So it is made illegal to sack or otherwise discriminate against anyone for being incompetent. Bad is the new good. And now a murder has been committed and our possibly incompetent detective must find out who the murderer is. As long as he can find directions to get him through the mean streets.

About the Author:
Rob Grant was born in Salford. Determined not to let that hold him back, he (after a protracted period doing any old thing) went on to co-create and write with Doug Naylor the astonishingly successful TV series RED DWARF. He also wrote the DARK AGES and STRANGERERS TV series.
Review:
'Crime Fantasy Fawlty Towers-style' DAILY MIRROR 'A revolutionary black comedy... he is spookily similar to that other science ficiton writer... Douglas Adams' -- Paul Pickering THE DAILY EXPRESS 'It's a tequila-sniffing, lemon-in-the-eye kind of affair - all wrong, but so right' MAXIM 'Who needs Red Dwarf? Rob Grant doesn't any more...' SFX 'A surreal, Monty Python-esque detective novel peppered with laugh-out-loud gags and elaborately conceived, vastly silly set-pieces' DREAMWATCH 'The jokes comes thick and fast' Scotland on Sunday 'Satire abounds in this consistently amusing comedy of errors' Starburst
