'The mystery surrounding Professor Nettleforth’s disappearance is solved when the professor’s remains turn up in the backyard of his former home. It appears he was strangled and eaten by his own houseplant, a fact so bizarre that Frogmore is once again inundated with reporters. At school a new boy, Damien Berkinshaw, is showing a nosy interest in Rodney’s ability to fade. Damien pursues Rodney to obtain photographic evidence, a relentless pursuit that results in several accidents. In Llandringodd, the rule of law has broken down. The opportunistic Rafferty has taken advantage of the country’s environmental crisis and is making himself rich at Llandringoddians’ expense. He’s also depriving political opponents of their liberty. Amongst his prisoners are Chief Inspector Fox, DS Hound, Mr McTavish, Remus, Mrs Strangeways and Evelyn. Can Rodney rescue the two policemen and his friends? Can he help bring about Rafferty’s downfall?'
