Receiving unwanted attention after foiling an armed robbery, the unhuman Inspector Hobbes takes a long-overdue camping holiday, with Andy, his accident-prone friend, and Dregs, the delinquent pet dog. In the bleak and harmful Blacker Mountains, Andy stumbles across something shocking, before dropping for a nice-looking widow, while Hobbes miracles why an previous gold mine offers reopened. On their return to the sleepy Cotswold city of Sorenchester, Hobbes is usually dumbfounded when Kathy, a reminder of his hippy days, turns up on the doorstep with her baggage. Since Hobbes must solve a yellow metal robbery and contemplate some perfectly ordinary rocks, Andy must amuse Kathy while trying to safeguard his new love from a monstrous challenger working for the sinister Sir Gerald Payne. Despite his typical blunderings and an inability to throw straight, Andy displays authentic courage. Can Andy survive dinner having a vampire? Can Hobbes recover the yellow metal? And what’s Kathy’s romantic relationship to Hobbes? This, the 3rd in Wilkie Martin’s unhuman group of fast-paced comedy criminal offense fantasies will reveal all.
