  The famed creator of Paddington Bear concocts another complex case for crime-solvers Monsieur Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites When Monsieur Pamplemousse is offered a free ticket to Cuisine de Chavignol, France's premier TV cookery programme, he is unenthusiastic - there's something fishy about the culinary expertise of its host. But when the show ends in disaster, Pamplemousse finds himself with something more suspicious on his hands: a puzzling case of murder. Pommes Frites, sniffer dog extraordinaire, has his own views on the matter, but how can he convey the truth to his unwitting master? Soon Pamplemousse and his faithful bloodhound find themselves caught up in a bizarre world of illusions, unrequited lust and blackmail in high places.
