The main attraction on the tour is however Leroy, who’s smile floats through the air, in and out of the shadows on the yellowish water but the further down stream we get the more the magic dies till he is suddenly no more than a boy half my age who gets horny easily.

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (/ˈwʊdhaʊs/; 15 October 1881 – 14 February 1975) was an English humorist whose body of work includes novels, short stories, plays, poems, song lyrics and numerous pieces of journalism. He enjoyed enormous popular success during a career that lasted more than seventy years, and his many writings continue to be widely read.

Etwa 750 000 Menschen werden jährlich in den USA als vermisst gemeldet. 750 000 Menschen, welche von einer Sekunde auf die andere verschwinden, deren Leben plötzlich stoppt. Einige kehren zurück, andere tauchen nie wieder auf. Cassandra hat schon viel gehört: von Entführungen, grausamen Morden und verliebten Pärchen in Las Vegas. Es gibt viele skurrile Geschichten über den Verbleib vermisster Personen. Aber dass ihr verschwundener bester Freund von einer bösartigen Fee und deren Schergen entführt worden und sich nun in einer Parallelwelt befinden soll, erscheint selbst ihr wie ein geschmackloser Scherz. Doch Cassandra muss schon bald erkennen, dass der vemeintliche Witz die bittere Wahrheit ist und weit mehr als das Schicksal ihres Freundes auf dem Spiel steht- ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt...
