In This One's Trouble, readers will discover characters that live in a world of shattered dreams and failed plans, where the banality of evil is found in everyday life. "A typical Sellers story there is usually one bad decision made, and on that hangs the plot, as well as the perpetrator." Don Hutchison, acclaimed author of Great Pulp Heroes.
