Monsieur Pamplemousse And The Militant Midwives by Michael Bond
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 ...
