Before the night is over, a man has been found dead in a teddy bear costume, the Invention Expo has been canceled, Binky the water-skiing squirrel has gone missing…and the authorities want to talk to one of the BHN ladies! What else could possibly go wrong? Once again, the Bargain Hunters Network swings into sleuth mode to solve the murder–and this time, clear one of their own. Along the way, Ginger discovers something even better than a bargain.

Uncrossable rivers! Hospitable nomads! Rabid dogs! Marijuana fields! Hailstone flashfloods! Maidens on horseback! Underpants wrestling! Toxic mountain-top lakes! Stupid westerners!

"This novel, filled with minor imperfections, the scabs of real scars, describes the arc of a man bursting free from the deathly grip of a dying world. Frank Dawley is a workingman alienated from machine, wife, and finally, at the close of this adventure, Western society. He is haunted by "William Posters," a projection of the last resistance to the debilitating life of the Midlands. Were it not for his politics, we could call Dawley "Lawrencian," for in his relationships with women he is intensely spiritual in his lust for human contact. Were it not for his openness to love, his unruly sense of life and acute physical nature -- made explicit in an exciting, metaphoric language, --his final act, after leaving behind a wife, two women, England, and joining the Algerian FLN might easily be a Malraux-like hangover from the Thirties. Together, Dawley's spirituality, his political decision and the style in which he is rendered make a faulted novel of insurgent power and prove that Sillitoe may one day return from what he calls "the trek without print or maps," his Hegira beyond gesture, and deliver a narrative as worthy as his intentions."--Kirkus.
