It seems she was working on an explosive story involving cucumber growers. His self-esteem is somewhat restored when the newspaperman who has been hounding him begs Jack's help in finding his missing sister "Goldilocks".
Furthermore, his psychiatrist is particularly sceptical about his claim that his new car repairs itself when no one is watching, and the car salesman who can prove his sanity cannot be found. He is forced to reveal to his shocked wife that he is himself a PDR. Jack's troubles increase when the argumentative Punches move in next door and his son adopts a sly and sticky-fingered pet. They begin an investigation of porridge-smuggling by anthropomorphic bears. His DS Mary Mary promises to consult him on all cases, to bypass the suspension.
After doubts arise concerning his handling of the Great Red-Legg'd Scissorman's arrest and the Red Riding Hood affair, he is suspended pending a mental health review. It continues the story of Detective Inspector Jack Spratt from The Big Over Easy.ĭCI Jack Spratt heads the Berkshire Nursery Crime Division, handling all inquiries involving nursery rhyme characters and other PDRs (persons of dubious reality). It is Jasper Fforde's sixth novel, and the second in the Nursery Crimes series (also known as the Jack Spratt series). The Fourth Bear is a mystery/fantasy novel by Jasper Fforde published in July 2006.
