About the book: 1933 / Literary characters penetrate the real world. A madman steals hats from famous people, which quickly causes the obvious association “Mad Hatter” to appear in the newspapers. Farce? Stupid joke? Maybe. But it suddenly turns into murder. The victim was a journalist who covered all the “crimes” of the Mad Hatter, and a bowler hat stolen from his uncle, a famous collector, was found on the head of the murdered man. Has the Hatter gone from harmless thefts to murder? Only Gideon Fell can answer.
