Publisher Description

Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa take a sporty approach to saving the day in this fart-tastically funny adventure from New York Times bestselling author Jo Nesbø.

When a Russian billionaire robs the Norwegian Gold Reserve and melts the last remaining gold bar into the Premier Soccer League trophy, it’s up to Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa to recapture the precious prize. But after a failed break-in attempt at the billionaire’s subterranean gold-melting lab, and with the Norwegian Gold Reserve Inspection in just three days, the only way to retrieve the trophy is to win it back.

Hoping to prevent national panic and uproar, Nilly and Lisa join the Rotten Ham soccer team to try and lead the hopeless underdogs to victory before time runs out. And with the use of Fartonaut Powder, along with a handful of Doctor Proctor’s other wacky inventions, they just might have a chance!

“This is hilarious! I read the first three books in this series 5+ years ago and just never got around to reading this final book. The book is so much fun with a lot of wordplay and crossing of the fourth wall. The picture on the cover and the summary on the back do the book a disservice by suggesting the book's theme is soccer. It is not. The story centres around the robbery of Norway's gold reserves (one gold bar, to be precise) and Nilly, Doctor, and Lisa are called in by the King to save Norway once again. They travel to London where they try to steal the gold back after tracking down the notorious thieves, the Crunch Brothers. The soccer episode starts in the last 50 pages only. A rip-roaring fun adventure with awesome fun silliness!”
