Synopsis
During his time as an inspector with the Paris Sūreté Monsieur Pamplemousse had been “in at the death” on more than one occasion, but even he had to admit that the phrase took on an entirely new meaning when he was present at the spectacular ending to “Cuisine de Chavignol”, France’s premier television cookery program.
Pommes Frites, sniffer dog extraordinaire, has his own views on the matter: Claude Chavignol was a bad egg if ever he’d seen one. Subsequent events prove him right, and as soon as he and his master find themselves caught up in a bizarre world of unrequited lust, murder and blackmail in high places.

The famed creator of Paddington Bear concocts another complex case for crime-solvers Monsieur Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites When Monsieur Pamplemousse is offered a free ticket to Cuisine de Chavignol, France's premier TV cookery programme, he is unenthusiastic - there's something fishy about the culinary expertise of its host. But when the show ends in disaster, Pamplemousse finds himself with something more suspicious on his hands: a puzzling case of murder. Pommes Frites, sniffer dog extraordinaire, has his own views on the matter, but how can he convey the truth to his unwitting master? Soon Pamplemousse and his faithful bloodhound find themselves caught up in a bizarre world of illusions, unrequited lust and blackmail in high places.
