Wala Kitu is a brilliant professor of mathematics. He is an expert on nothing. This makes him the perfect partner for the aspiring villain John Sill, who wants to break into Fort Knox to steal, well, not gold bars but a shoebox containing nothing. Once he controls nothing he'll proceed with a dastardly plan to turn a Massachusetts town into nothing. Or so he thinks. From the author of "Telephone", a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
