Synopsis

Inspector Drake and his sidekick Sergeant Plod return in their most perplexing case yet, confronting everything from missing tortoises, to triplets, to deadly tropical spiders.

A maid discovers the corpse of wealthy oil tycoon John Johnson with a sword sticking out of his back.

An ordinary case of murder?

If so, then why is Johnson dressed as a woman?

And why does he appear to have swallowed a tortoise?

All these questions and more form the basis for another thrilling ride in the company of the world¿s greatest detective, as he attempts to solve the murder whilst also avoiding his own.

Plod has had a premonition which, if correct, suggests that Drake has only a matter of hours to live!

Maybe it is just another flashback, but then again, it could be something infinitely more sinister.
