Review: a captivating adventure which, could be compared to a Roald Dahl's tale filmed by Wes Anderson The AD: WE FEEL YOUR PAIN - So You Don’t Have To You don’t have to live with pain. For years Doctors have ignored the underlying causes of pain – prescribing opioids and other painkillers that often lead to complications, or addiction, leaving a patient in far a worse situation. At the Jirdasham Institute we will strive to take your pain away forever, with a drug-free treatment that really works. We make no claims about curing cancer or healing rheumatics. Our Jirdasham method is not a ‘cure’, but we promise to remove your pain and let you get on with living again. Can’t live with pain? Get rid of it. FOREVER. The CASE: Delaney and Asha run the Office of City Oversight. Their role is to expose the scams, keep Berg City safe from unscrupulous contractors. When something looks too good to be true – it’s a scam, right? But what if the scam works? What kind of scam is that?308 complaints about Jirdasham are suddenly withdrawn. It gets Delaney’s interest. When he meets Mr Abrams, owner of the last bookshop in the city, he learns he paid thirty grand to the Jirdasham Institute to be rid of his pain. Seems it worked - for a month. Delaney knows something about this stinks, but what exactly? As the contract says – any pain after that is ‘new’ pain and caveat emptor. When Delaney finds himself left for dead at the bottom of a cliff he gets the message that someone somewhere doesn't want him to share the honeypot. Would you pay $30,000 bucks to get rid of your pain? You would? Then this scam is for you. *This is the first Delaney and Asha mystery. Look for 'The Book of Ashes' the extraordinary sequel.
