Dan Brown is back! The author of Digital Fortress (and, okay, if I have to mention it, The Da Vinci Code) is typing up words and phrases and clauses as fast as his fingers can go. Most are, well, not very good – but there are a lot of them!

Yes, the episode is long. But think of it this way: if you are taking a dogsled trip somewhere above the Arctic circle, what else you got to do but listen, feed the dogs, hang onto the sled and not get thrown by helicopter into a ravine?

(We have pledged not to spend too long a time on this book so we’re doubling up our readings. That makes your assignment READ THROUGH CHAPTER 64. Then you will be the SHERIFF OF 64 CHAPTERS!)

Yes, all the things we in America know so well and love so much come together (much like dodgems) in one final episode!

This episode has it all: horrible, ghoulish holiday-makers, Farm Supply delivery men, cunning King Crabs, colonels who are probably earlier colonels but never mind, and of course train drivers just weeks away from retirement who scream themselves awake nearly every night during a nightmare about their bridge crossings.

Includes some Listener Mail and of course Dumb Sentences of the Week.

It’s Conor’s turn to solve the mystery, and Mike has picked out a fiendish one. There are five clues this time, and in a series where even the sole clue a mystery hinges on likely doesn’t make a lot of sense, this means we’re in for a wild ride!

Two prize winning pigs have gone missing in Idaville, and our intrepid Boy Detective suspects a brand new gang. How many gangs are operating in Idaville and how do things manage to stay relatively peaceful between them? You’d have to imagine there would be all sorts of territory disputes, not to mention horrific initiation rituals and shakedowns of local merchants for protection money.   

Nevertheless, there are pigs to be found, and Mike’s going to see if Conor can crack the case!
