Novel, May 2003

"So," she sighed thoughtfully, "we're looking for an object that's invisible, taken by a man who's now disappeared, on a day that doesn't exist."

"Oh yes, and a dog that doesn't bark. I didn't realise that was relevant."
"it isn't really. I just wanted to know what happened to it. it seemed such a nice dog you see."

How many days are there in one week? What significance do cows hold for the fate of humankind? What is the connection between the mysterious Zen and chocolate coated peanuts? Who is the sinister Mr Grimes and what does he keep in his potting shed? And why won't the universe let Phoebe Thales hand in an essay on time?
