The Gingerbreadman - psychopath,sadist, convicted murderer and cake/biscuit - is loose on the streets of Reading.
It isn't Jack Spratt's case.
Despite the success of the Humpty Dumpty investigation,the well publicised failure to prevent Red Riding Hood and her Gran being eaten once again plunges the Nursery Crime Division into controversy.
Enforced non-involvement with the Gingerbreadman hunt looks to be frustrating until a chance encounter at the oddly familiar Deja-Vu Club leads them onto the hunt for missing journalist Henrietta 'Goldy' Hatchett, star reporter for The Daily Toad.
The last witnesses to see her alive were The Three Bears,comfortably living out a life of rural solitude in Andersen's wood.
But all is not what it seems.Are the unexplained explosions around the globe somehow related to missing nuclear scientist Angus McGuffin? Is cucumber-growing really that dangerous? Why are National Security involved?
But most important of all: how could the bear's porridge be at such disparate temperatures when they were poured at the same time?
