Fourteen years after the 1988 SuperHoop, detective Thursday Next discovers that a killer is murdering fictional characters and stopping their series. While the Goliath Corporation tries to deregulate travel into books, Thursday receives a threat against her written self and must travel to the limits of the BookWorld to save literature.

For readers of fantasy and literary satire seeking humour, wordplay and meta-narrative adventures, especially fans of the Thursday Next series.
Jasper Fforde is an English novelist whose first novel, The Eyre Affair, was published in 2001. He is known mainly for his Thursday Next novels, but has also published two books in the loosely connected Nursery Crime series, two in the Shades of Grey series and four in The Last Dragonslayer series. Fforde's books abound in literary allusions and wordplay, tightly scripted plots and playfulness with the conventional, traditional genres. They usually contain elements of metafiction, parody, and fantasy.
