внесерийное издание Nombeko Mayeki is on the run from the world"s most ruthless secret service - with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders. Born in a Soweto shack in 1961, Nombeko is destined for a short, hard life. When she is run over by a drunken engineer, her luck changes. Alive, but blamed for the accident, she is sent to work for the driver - the brandy-soaked head of a project vital to South Africa"s security. Nombeko may be good at cleaning, but she"s amazing with numbers. The drunken engineer isn"t - and has made a big mistake. And only Nombeko knows about it... As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson"s bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.
