From the author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.
'Feel-good set to stun level' - The Guardian
Just because the world ignores you, doesn't mean you can't save it . . .<,p>
Nombeko Mayeki was never meant to be a hero. Born in a Soweto shack, she seemed destined for a short, hard life. But now she is on the run from the world `s most ruthless secret service, with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders.
As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson's bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.
