In the Great Crime of Grapplewick Eric Sykes has created a comic world populated by a gallery of extraordinary people. Grapplewick is a northern town splotched on the moors where nobody seems aware of anything but everybody knows what's going on. The mayor is chief of the fire brigade and as the fire brigade doubles up for the town's brass band he is the bandmaster too! Into this timeless place comes Terence, a crook who has served seven years in jail and is now desperately searching for his accomplice in the crime - and then life in the sleepy town starts to hot up! Erics Sykes's first novel portrays an aspect of life in immediate post-war Britain which has now sadly disappeared.
