How Mean Is My Valley (Cuthbert Book 2) Patrick Barrett

They said Cuthbert would never make Act II, but ... Last time around, Cuthbert was up against thieves infiltrating the Valley, planning to steal William Shakespeare's first - and, well, worst - works. This time it is the forces of global exploitation and Big Business who have decided to march into lush pastures and by-waters nobody knew existed, even their inhabitants, and turn them into an out-of-town shopping centre and cinema multiplex. Yes, folks, it is Cuthbert - one-time farmer, theatre impressario, and many-times undertaker - against the World, and somebody or something is going to get buried, under concrete or otherwise. The Valley is under threat. Will the Valley rise again and become a mountain, or will the locals take it all sitting down, eat popcorn, and watch 'Die Messy 4'? Book #2 in the Cuthbert Series
