Monsieur Pamplemousse and his trusty dog, Pommes Frites are called into Le Guide¿s offices early one morning and presented with a string of Leclercq¿s plaintive conundrums ¿ all relating to his mobster uncle-in-law. These include a letter about a juicy steak turned brisket, a dead restaurant owner, a giant truffle delivered by post and the imminent arrival of the vivacious Caterina to the Gare des Lyons. All of which Pamplemousse has been called upon to help.
