The Third Policeman

by Flann O'Brien

A man commits a murder for the sake of a manuscript and finds himself in a parish where nothing behaves as it should. The local police are obsessed with bicycles, the rules of the world bend a little further every hour, and an encyclopaedic footnote war rages over the theories of the crackpot philosopher de Selby. One of the great comic novels of the twentieth century.
