Grab on and hold tight for another wild ride with literary sleuth Thursday Next in Jasper Fforde's third plunge deep into the pages of great fiction.

Thursday Next, the forthright and unstoppable detective of Jasper Fforde's first two novels, The Eyre Affair and Lost in a Good Book, rides again in The Well of Lost Plots. Get ready for time travel, adventure, mystery, romance, and crime in a literary caper that pokes fun at fiction itself.

When soon-to-be single parent Thursday Next emerges from her comfortable life inside an unpublished book, she steps into a new age of fictional narrative. The entire book world is abuzz with anticipation of an improved Text Operating System that moves from the 8-plot to the new 32-plot story system. But danger lurks when Jurisfiction agents keep turning up dead. When Thursday steps in, she encounters Dickens' Miss Havisham, passes through Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, and deals with a misspelling virus, holesmiths, and unionized nursery rhymes. The Well of Lost Plots---the place where all fiction is created---is an exhilarating romp through literary classics, an insightful look at how books are made, and a jewel in the long tradition of British nonsense.

About the Author: Jasper Fforde, the author of two previous Thursday Next books, worked for many years as a camera technician on films including Goldeneye, The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, and The Saint. Raised in England, he lives and works in Wales.
