The story so far...
In the first
two books, My Inflatable Friend and Rubber Babes, Rollo has masterminded a plot with a life-sized rubber doll made in
the image of a famous soap star, Monica LaMonica. Rollo’s former boss, old
crusty Hugo Farnsworth, has developed a passionate fascination for the doll. He
is currently entertaining “her” as his sole guest aboard his private yacht
Shameless Palms, currently anchored at St. Tropez. Meanwhile, Rollo has also
fled to France to avoid being arrested for a money-laundering scam he didn’t
do. As the book opens, Farnsworth secretly summons Rollo and pleads for his
help because the doll has mysteriously disappeared from the boat.
