Edward Trencom's Nose - Hardcover

Edward Trencom has bumbled through life, relying on his trusty nose to turn the family cheese shop into the most celebrated fromagerie in England. But his world is turned upside down when he stumbles across a crate of family papers. To his horror, Edward discovers that nine previous generations have come to sticky ends because of their noses. When he investigates further, Edward finds himself hunted down by rival forces whose identity and purpose remain a total mystery. Edward Trencom's nose must make a choice - and for the last nine generations it has made the catastrophically wrong decision.
