Culinary Capers: The Final Five and All the Short Stories

Baking can be a dangerous business, as Albert Smith is about to discover. A shadowy master criminal has been kidnapping experts from the food industry and stealing both food and equipment, but the crimes are so unrelated that no one in the world had noticed the connections - except Albert.

With almost nothing to go on, Albert sets out to uncover the truth, aided by his faithful sidekick, Rex Harrison, a former police dog. As they visit various locations, they get closer and closer to the elusive culprit, whom Albert has dubbed "the Gastrothief."

However, their task is not an easy one. The nation's police suspect Albert of the very crimes he wants them to investigate, forcing him to go on the run and operate almost completely alone, far from home.

Can Albert and Rex turn their darkest hour into their greatest triumph? They'll have to overcome numerous obstacles, including the "Kent Coast Oyster Obliteration," the "Wedding Ceremony Woes," the "Eton Mess Massacre," the "Cornish Pasty Conspiracy," the "Vet's Waiting Room," the "Lyme Regis Layover," and the "Case of the Missing Pasty," all while facing a "Majestic Mystery" and a "Hell Cat Police Dog" on their first day.

The odds may be stacked against them, but Albert and Rex are determined to uncover the truth and stop the Gastrothief once and for all. With their wits, courage, and an unshakable partnership, they just might pull off the impossible.
