Baking. It can get a guy killed. A shadowy master criminal has been kidnapping experts from the food industry and stealing both food and equipment. The crimes are so unrelated no one in the world had noticed the connections. No one except Albert Smith, that is. He's got almost nothing to go on, but with every place he visits, he gets just a little closer to the truth. He's not working alone though, his faithful sidekick, Rex Harrison the former police dog is right there with him. Can the two of them pull off the impossible and find the man Albert chose to dub 'the Gastrothief'? Well, maybe, but it's not going to be easy. Not least because the nation's police suspect Albert of the very crimes he wants them to investigate. On the run, far from home, and almost completely alone, can they turn their darkest hour into their greatest triumph?
