Midnight's Chicken

Russell Hobbes, the manager of Books-R-Us, has booked the celebrated author Abhinav Raksha to appear in the shop. While Russell prepares for Raksha’s arrival he has to cope with an interesting selection of personal problems, including his catastrophic love life and a clown suit.

Meanwhile, an uptight cleric has sentenced Raksha to death for the blasphemies of his book, ‘The Devil’s Poetry’. Worse than that, he has left his literary theorist wife Saleena for Madison the nail technician. As Raksha’s relationship with Madison implodes, a terrorist cell plots his demise.

There’s also a professional cricketer, a gold-digger, a cave, a flood, a book shop sales assistant with an identity crisis, a terrible rock band and a retired dishwasher manufacturer. And more ostriches than you might expect.
