Doug Perkins, his partner Gerry, and their cat, Pandora, have one job to do: spin gaffes into gold. But this cozy little London PR agencyâa better environment for Pandora than profitsâis about to be involved in a disastrous affaire dentaire. Endicott Zayle, dentist to the rich and famousâas well as to Doug and Gerryâhas 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 aroundâand 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 manâs madness, a young manâs foolishness, and a tooth-and-nail case of cat fightingâno holds barred.
