It's Easter in Reading - a bad time for eggs - and no one can
remember the last sunny day. Humpty Dumpty, well-known nursery
favourite, large egg, ex-convict and former millionaire
philanthropist is found shattered beneath a wall in a shabby area
of town. Following the pathologist's careful reconstruction of
Humpty's shell, Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his Sergeant
Mary Mary are soon grappling with a sinister plot involving
cross-border money laundering, the illegal Bearnaise sauce market,
corporate politics and the cut and thrust world of international
Chiropody. As Jack and Mary stumble around the streets of Reading
in Jack's Lime Green Austin Allegro, the clues pile up, but Jack
has his own problems to deal with. And on top of everything else,
the Jellyman is coming to town...
