Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Durer the Much Much Younger's Frog
Prints go missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel
(yes, that Gretel), now 35 and still living with her gluttonous
brother Hans, is the country's most famous private investigator,
and she leaps at the opportunity to travel to cosmopolitan
Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the city's
annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that
point toward the elusive thief. Even with the aid of the chatty
mice living under her bed, the absent prints remain stubbornly out
of view, and Gretel is forced to get creative in her search for the
truth.
Gretel-yes, that Gretel-is now all grown up and working as a
private investigator in 18th century Bavaria. Her professional
interest is piqued when she begins to hear whispers of of
mysterious goings-on off the coast of Schleswig-Holstein: sailors
are disappearing, and there are rumors of mermaids and sea
creatures and all manner of slippery, sea-based happenings.
Ordinarily, Gretel's interest in sea-life does not extend beyond
that which is edible, doused in butter and garlic, and already on
the plate before her. However, funds are low, and the captain of
the ship Arabella makes a tempting offer of good pay and a free
cruise in return for her detective services. With a splendid new
wig packed, Hans as her bodyguard on the journey north, and the
promise of two weeks of fine dining and erudite company whilst
sailing around the picturesque Friesian islands, what could
possibly go wrong?
