Lee and Bruno are expected. They are on their way to see Mrs. Pfeiffer: Lee, the freshly divorced amateur anthropologist, and Bruno with his sketchbook under his arm. After years of silence, the two once inseparable friends have reunited in London. Now, Mrs. Pfeiffer has an adventurous request that they cannot refuse. Heartwarming, quirky, and unconventional - a fantastic novel about six urban neurotics, an elderly lady, and two bodies in the basement.
