About the book

The day that Benny Catchprice was fired from the spare parts department of Catchprice Motors by his aunt Cathy was also the day that the Tax Inspector, Maria Takis, arrived to begin her long-overdue audit of the family business. But this is no ordinary investigation. Maria is eight months pregnant, Granny Catchprice is at war with her offspring and Benny, her grandson, wants to become an angel.
