Could any kind soul out there please give me the full clue to 27D, as my copy of the paper has obviously suffered from a printer's bad-hair-day. All I have is "Debut novel by Ale**"?**@:! Gobbledygooketc, and even the mighty Google can't handle that one! Last clue as well - and if you want to hint at the answer, well I won't say anything....! PS Has anyone else had problems today accessing AB ? Taken me an hour - did someone upset the Ed?
