Book excerpt: Life is anything but a bed of roses at thorny end, and Hermux faces his toughest case yet! A missing heir, a homeless teenager, a mad genius, fields of dying roses; and a beauty tycoon with an axe to grind. No one sees the connection until an unidentified body washes up on the shore and Androse DeRosenquill hires Hermux Tantamoq to solve the mystery. In the midst of the mayhem, Hermux has to maintain his normal life and keep organising his perfect wedding to Linka Perflinger, aviatrix extraordinaire. Can Hermux survive his latest confrontation with Tucka Mertslin and her ruthless machinations? Or will he succumb to the giant spider that lurks at Jeckel Island?
