Two in a rowWhen just one of the kids comes home from school, Chesney Yelverton is persuaded to come out of retirement and given the most challenging and lethal case of his career.

Or what if...?
When things go wrong, the majority of us either go for our pocketbooks or lose precious time feeling sorry for ourselves. David Sedaris has researched this phenomena, and the conclusions he came at might well save your life. David Sedaris, the author of the national hits Should You Be Attacked by Snakes and If You Are Surrounded by Mean Ghosts, is unquestionably at the top of his game with When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
Oh, it's okay...
This is not the sixth book of essays that David Sedaris has authored. Topics include the usage of an external catheter for recreational purposes, a meeting with a dingo, and a parasitic worm that used to reside in his mother-in-law's thigh. The purchase of a human skeleton and the author's struggle to give up smoking in Tokyo are both related.
Sedaris, the master of nothing, demonstrates in the middle of his act that sometimes playing with matches may result in setting the whole pack on fire.
