The Gastrothief

Albert Smith's Culinary Capers Recipe 14

Every journey might start with a single step, but where does it end?

Albert Smith and his faithful dog, Rex Harrison, have been on the road for far longer than they ever expected, but they can’t go home yet.

Not until they solve one final case.

Following a near-invisible breadcrumb trail of clues to find a character they know only as ‘The Gastrothief’, the man and dog duo find themselves in a remote village on the Welsh coast. Miles from home and without a friend in sight, do they really stand a chance against this invisible enemy and his merciless agents?

Of course they don’t. But in their darkest hours and against their greatest challenge, maybe, just maybe, one old man and his dog can prove good will always triumph …

If you like twisty, exciting mysteries, and stories involving dogs, you cannot afford to pass this series by.
