Dyspepsia is an ordinary little girl with an extraordinary name. Her mam thought it smart and cool - without quite knowing what it meant. Her friend, Spookie, is an undead quantum cat. Once she belonged to Prof. Schrodinger - until the RSPCA took her away. She desperately wants to be ordinary, too, and they go for a walk in the park. There the friends find a tiny bone sticking out of the ground.

Dyspepsia is a normal little girl, with a gorgeous curl in the middle of her forehead. (Parents: don't give your darling daughter a name, no matter how pretty it sounds, unless you know what it means!) Spookie was just a normal cat called Pookie, until her "accident". Actually it wasn't an accident, as Prof. Schrodinger could tell you. But it wasn't her fault, so she can't be blamed.

When his son Harry comes home bringing a strange girl to meet the family, retired Durham quarryman Jack finds her hard to accept. But soon she calms his doubts so far as to captivate him, and the couple are wed. An uninvited guest warns Jack his son is in deadly danger, catapulting him on a heartbreaking quest for the truth.
