| Publisher Description: Doug Perkins, his partner Gerry, and their cat, Pandora, have one job to do: spin gaffes into gold. But this cozy little London PR agency--a better environment for Pandora than profits--is about to be involved in a disastrous affaire dentaire. Endicott Zayle, dentist to the rich and famous--as well as to Doug and Gerry--has a problem of royal proportions. He just killed a beautiful woman with an experimental anesthetic. Or did he?By the time Doug arrives on the scene, the corpse is up and walking around--and someone else is dead instead. With Endicott losing his grip, and a line of women all claiming personal interest in the deceased, scandal is afoot. And so is a second dose of murder. For Doug, Perry, and Pandora, making this mess look good will mean sorting through an old man's madness, a young man's foolishness, and a tooth-and-nail case of cat fighting--no holds barred. |
