Summary

The acclaimed creator of Paddington Bear dishes up a dastardly plot for Monsieur Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites to unravel. 
It isn’t every day that a coffin explodes during a funeral ceremony. Barely escaping with his life, thanks to a warning howl from his faithful bloodhound Pommes Frites, Monsieur Pamplemousse can only wonder who was behind the explosion . . . and if they were also responsible for the demise of the coffin’s inhabitant. 
But then another urgent matter comes to his attention: a terrorist group is planning to poison the food chain. Monsieur Pamplemousse, together with Pommes Frites and a rather strange ally, must spearhead an elite group to stop the catastrophe . . .

    She had deep brown eyes that captured his soul.  
As much as he wanted to say, he knew he should go. But he couldn't move. 
Just one more look, one little glance into those pools of sparkling chocolate.  
They were mesmerizing and he was powerless.  
Charlie Holiday could leave and go back to his probably-a-little-better-than-average life.  
Or he could stay and see what happened.  
She blinked.  
Now her eyes were different.  
Now Charlie couldn't leave if he wanted to. 
But he no longer wanted to. 
He was under her spell.
