Book Synopsis
Frank is an aspiring spy novelist and Head of Installation at Forshaws, a commercial lettering factory. Alan is his reluctant teenage trainee, more interested in listening to music and designing album artwork for his band Lizard than Frank''s beloved bracketing systems. As they attempt to install the company name in giant letters on the side of its building, it soon becomes clear that the letters are supposed to read For Sale instead of Forshaws - the company is relocating and Frank will be out of a job.2 men
