As a reward for services beyond the call of duty, Monsieur Pamplemousse, Sûreté sleuth turned food inspector, finds himself ensconced at Les Cinq Parfaits, the world-renowned hotel-restaurant on the shores of Lac Leman. Sadly, his ever-faithful hound, Pommes Frites, is denied access to the dining room, but nothing daunted, he sniffs his way to his own gastronomic nirvana – with dire consequences for all concerned.

However, Pommes Frites’ problem is soon overshadowed by the disappearance of Jean-Claude, the Parfait brother responsible for the establishment’s justly famous Soufflé Surprise.
