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