      The narrative follows Tony Perrottet's quest to investigate the peculiar theft of Napoleon's "baguette," a relic linked to the Emperor's death. His journey leads him to an eccentric American collector in New Jersey, who possesses this controversial artifact, acquired from a Parisian auction. The story delves into the bizarre intersection of history, obsession, and the lengths to which individuals will go to possess a piece of the past.

      Travel writer Tony Perrottet decided to retrace the steps of the world's first tourists, the Ancient Romans, travelling from Rome, through to Greece, Turkey and Egypt. Taking his pregnant girlfriend with him, he misguidedly promised 'No terror, no squalor'. Soon they were in Pompeii searching for the brothel, inspecting a rather feeble replica wooden horse at Troy and avoiding 'Pyramidiots' in Egypt. And it gradually became clear that, when it comes to Mediterranean holidays., not a lot has changed in two thousand years.
