Inhaltsangabe

(Moses Highness? Not a very typical English name, you might think. Nor did Moses, growing up alone in the outside world, as he began to scour the phonebooks for some clue to his origins. He moved to London and found a flatmate, Eddie, who was so beautiful he could make people faint. He also found Gloria, a jazz-singer, and fell in love with her because her eyebrows told the time like the hands on a clock.
But he had still to unearth the bizarre and chilling secrets of his past. He had yet to learn of his mother who ate raw yeast because she wanted to rise out of her misery, his father who spent eight years in bed, the greengrocer who disguised himself as a section of ploughed field, the postman who thought he was Tarzan. And, most threatening of all, the brutal, obsessive figure of Chief Inspector Peach, head of the village police, who had an old score to settle)
