When the pride of a nation is at stake, the authorities find themselves up against the pride of a hard-nosed soft-tailed diminutive private eye. He may be their only hope, and he may be hopeless.Millions of dollars worth of maple syrup has come up missing from the world's larget stockpile - the Quebec strategic reserve. Markets would be rattled if the whole story got out, so the mounties call in outside help, from the old oak tree office of a jaded gumpaw. With women on his tail, and on his last nerve, the new anti-hero for our age finds himself in a stickier situation than anyone had imagined. Dead bodies are a very sticky situation. A thousand miles from home, with strict orders to keep the job secret, this Private Nut will have to do more than crack a tough case - he'll have to stay alive.
