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 bears' porridge be at such disparate
temperatures when they were poured at the same time?
