Synopsis
Jack Spratt is the detective in THE BIG OVER EASY, the first in a projected trilogy of books based on nursery rhymes by Jasper Fforde. The case begins when the broken body of Humperdink "Humpty" Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III is found near a wall in a seedy part of town. Did he jump, or was he pushed? Or was his fall accidental? Detective Spratt, who heads the Nursery Crime Division of the Oxford and Berkshire Constabulary, sees the case as a chance to salvage his failing career--and to give new meaning to the term "hard-boiled."
