Blurb:
Arriving on the Greek island of Skios to spend a few stolen summer days with someone else's girlfriend, Oliver Fox discovers that she's missed her flight, and that he has twenty-four long hours to kill by himself. In the arrivals hall, he sees the name "Dr Norman Wilfred" being held up. It's a temptingly possible substitute - so Oliver steps into the life of Dr Wilfred.
On the same flight is the real Dr Wilfred, who has come to give a lecture to a distinguished international audience. By the time the wrong Dr Wilfred is on his way to give the right Dr Wilfred's lecture, and the right Dr Wilfred is installed in the wrong Dr Wilfred's love-nest, Oliver's original date has found a flight after all and is stepping off a plane herself...
