The dragon detective takes a plunge

When dragon Dripeye complains that someone stole all his precious rings, dragon detective Scaly is right on the scene: Is there a thief in town? And indeed, more and more rings are disappearing from Wormstead over the next few days, even some with dangerous magical powers! One trace leads to a lake in the city park: that’s where the Nixie live, and these water spirits are all crazy about sparkling things. Together with his friends, the cat Greywacke and the elf Jessamy, Scaly plunges right into his investigations, which will leave nobody dry and which have a lot of surprises in store …

Highly original, humorous, and great reading fun!
