Still convinced that the only true modern traveller is the business traveller, Peter Biddlecombe takes us on another irreverent global tour. He snubs his nose at the 'gimmick tourists', eschews crossing the Sahara naked on a skateboard and carries on doing what he does best - business, all over the world, with a wonderfully diverse range of characters. Power-players in Milan, storm-trooping language police in Toronto, and just general chaos in Kinshasa: a mere selection of the obstacles the international businessman must face as he struggles to get to grips with the local way of doing things. But it's all in the name of commerce, and whether he's trapped in a luxury hotel during the riots in Bombay or working his way through a Good Food Guide to Ouagadougou in one of the poorest countries in the world, Peter Biddlecombe usually comes up trumps...not necessarily with the deal he was after, but always with a hilarious tale to tell.

Little,Brown & Co

In the time it takes to get through Atlanta airport's luggage system, Peter Biddlecombe negotiates the perils of business life in twenty cities from Beirut to Budapest, all courtesy of another awe-inspiring expense account. I Came, I Saw, I Lost My Luggage finds the first-class hero at his hilarious and thoughtful best: ostensibly developing contacts, striking deals and attending foreign delegations, he is an astute, informed commentator everywhere he goes, bringing a businessman's eye to bear on the economic and political challenges faced by both post-cold war Europe and the developing nations of Asia and Africa - while simultaneously over-testing the theory that a nation's culture is contained within its bars and restaurants. Whether power-shopping in Miami, feeling the earth move in Mexico, attending a Finnish masterclass in the noble art of vodka-drinking or simply lamenting the disappearance of the Trabant, Peter Biddlecombe is the perfect bon viveur in a hugely enjoyable alternative world tour - until the malignant evil trading as the Heathrow baggage handlers decide to lose his briefcase again.

I Came I Saw I Lost My Luggage
