As far as Norman Penkridge is concerned, there’s only one problem with having an angel floating above his living room carpet. He’s an atheist! When reclusive computer geek, Norman, starts receiving heavenly visitations, his fiercely logical brain assumes he’s going mad. But as attempts to prove they’re a figment of his imagination fail, he’s faced with a far more alarming scenario.

"Baking. It can get a guy killed. When a retired detective superintendent chooses to take a culinary tour of the British Isles, he hopes to find tasty treats and delicious bakes... what he finds is a clue to a crime in the ingredients for his pork pie. His dog, Rex Harrison, an ex-police dog fired for having a bad attitude, cannot understand why the humans are struggling to solve the mystery.

One thing is for sure, what started out as a bit of fun, is getting deadlier by the hour, and they'd better work out what the dog knows soon or it could be curtains for them all." -- Back cover.
