With his white van and set of ladders, hes the chief suspect. But who is the mysterious Slag that has the whole street gossiping; and who has she hurt? In Wrestling Jacob, a lusty academic takes out his frustrations down on the farm every weekend, sparring with a fierce, strangely human ram. Its hard work being beaten up by a sheep, but he soon realizes that his girlfriends love to see him wrestle Jacob And in Coddock, theres a bold new chipshop owner in town. But who is he? And what do you get if you cross a cod with a haddock, anyway?
