If only ... This is the bane of life. If only we had been prepared ... If only we could be bothered ... If only we cared ... enough ... If only we had been organised ... What if, somewhere, someone was? How would you know? At the start of the summer of 2000, Danny Wetherby set out to find ... something. What she achieved, she was not attempting; what she found, she was not seeking; for what found her, she was not prepared. All in all, by Autumn, her world was full of chaos. But then ... it often is, for a mathematician. With a cast of ABC people (that's Argumentative, Bloodyminded and Cantankerous) ... plus betting, bureaucrats, chaos, computers, fireworks, geeks, motorbikes, music, politicians, trains, walnuts, the Internet, the Taj Mahal and a four-poster bed. And the Grapevine. But not necessarily in that order. What goes on in your town?

Heard the one about a Norwegian, a corkscrew and a power cable? It gives Dale Engadine's family a free weekend, so they head to grandparents in Ledbury. A different accident puts something else on its way. Combining a place and time can have consequences. Dale is set on a path to face down far more than a personal demon or two. He may save lives, but that won't necessarily make him popular. And what about the politician, the journalist and the lottery winner? If one maverick spanner in the machinery might be stimulating; consider what several hundred could do. Then there is conspiracy theory, it usually only goes one way. There is a foul-up; those on high move to cover up, those beneath suffer the consequences, unless a miracle fix appears; though only to be dispensed if there is kudos in it. But what if "on high" score an own goal, and don't find the cure; it comes from beneath, who are not in a mood to compromise? What price your cover-up, if concealment forfeits you?
