Hey faithful readers!

Gnasher; Ned Sullivan; Count Hristo Sapristi; Mr Alucard
New York, 1995.
Doctor Dennis and Sherlock Bones are invited on to the Ned Sullivan TV show. Ned asks the pair what their most difficult case was. Dennis replies that it would have to be the Case of the Melted Falcon, the only case they never solved. The story takes place in 1932 in the mountains of Romania. Count Hristo Sapristi is a cheese producer in his family castle. Each cheese carries the family crest, the Sapristi Falcon. The original golden falcon is stolen and the insurance company calls in Dennis and Gnasher to investigate.
