La mas famosa novela de Tom Sharpe, en la que el autor no deja titere con cabeza. El protagonista, Henry Wilt, encadenado a un empleo demencial como profesor en un politecnico, acaba de ver postergado su ascenso una vez mas. Mientras, las cosas no marchan mejor en casa, donde su maciza esposa, Eva, se entrega a imprevisibles arrebatos de entusiasmo por la meditacion trascendental, el yoga o la ultima novedad recien olfateada. Wilt, que se siente impotente con respecto a su empleo, no vacila en entregarse a fantasias cada vez mas asesinas y concretas acerca de su mujer, con la colaboracion de una espectacular muneca hinchable. A partir de la inopinada desaparicion de Eva, Wilt se encuentra encartado como principal sospechoso de la presunta muerte de su esposa, y se pone en marcha una desopilante investigacion policiaca. / Henry Wilt has just been passed over for promotion yet again.
