The bees of Welvin aren't just pollinating flowers.
They're pollinating minds.
When a wave of bizarre public confessions sweeps the Town Council, Frank Peniston traces the cause to Golden Welvin Apiary, a suspiciously well-funded honey empire run by the charismatic Hex Monroe. Behind the gift shop and tasting room lies a hive of psychic influence - bees broadcasting control through mind-altering nectar.
Armed with a glue gun, vinegar spray bottles, and a beekeeper suit modified for urban combat, Frank and his long-suffering partner Ronald must infiltrate the hive, hijack a karaoke-based thought-control transmitter, and face off against Hex in a golden mech suit powered by royal jelly hydraulics.
The plan?
Disrupt the swarm before the entire town falls under the Hive State.
The risks?
Everything - including sanity, bodily safety, and another ill-advised 69 (this time in a honey dome).
From the deranged mind of Frankfort Petersén, Book 8 of the Frank Peniston Mysteries blends satirical action, absurd gadgetry, insect-based espionage, and enough bee puns to qualify as a war crime.
Justice has wings.
And this time, it buzzes.
