In the Teeth of Adversity

Doug Perkins; his partner, Gerry; and their cat, Pandora, have one job to do: spin gaffes into gold. But this cosy little London PR agency - a better environment for Pandora than profits - is about to be involved in a disastrous affaire dentaire. Endicott Zayle, dentist to the rich and famous - as well as to Doug and Gerry - has a problem of royal proportions. He just killed a beautiful woman with an experimental anaesthetic. Or did he? By the time Doug arrives on the scene, the corpse is up and walking around - and 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 man's madness, a young man's foolishness, and a tooth-and-nail case of cat fighting - no holds barred.
