Ingrey is sent from Easthome, capital city of the Weald, to investigate the
death of Boleso, one of the two sons of the dying Hallow King. He quickly
comes to believe Ijada's version, the woman who killed him in self defence:
Boleso was attempting to use her as a human sacrifice that would allow him to
acquire the soul of a leopard, an almost forgotten practice from the Old Weald
from before the country was conquered by the Darthacans four centuries
earlier that allowed to make shamans. Ijada is the unintended recipient of the
animal's soul; Ingrey also has the soul of a wolf that had been forced on him
by his father as a boy and, because he was not prepared, drove him mad for
several years. On the way escorting Boleso's body and Ijada back to Easthome,
Ingrey loses control of his wolf several time. Thanks to the unexpected
arrival during a stop of Hallana, a sorceress and friend of Ijada, Ingrey
understands that someone had cursed him so as to force him to murder Ijada.
Ingrey and Ijada also fall in love during the journey. Later in Easthome,
Ingrey has a mystic experience during Boleso's funeral, where he meets the
Son; the god asks him to clean Boleso of all the animal souls he has
accumulated so that he can receive the man's soul. Ingrey is then invited by
his cousin Wencel who tells him that he is the real Hallow King, as he hosts
the accumulated souls of all the descendants of the Hallow King who was killed
with his army four centuries ago in Bloodfield, a patch of cursed forest that
now belongs to Ijada. Those souls actually control Wencel's body and the
cousin Ingrey knew as a child does not really exist anymore. The old king's
curse was such that the souls of the dead soldiers are prisoner of Bloodfield.
Moreover, Ingrey is next of kin to Wencel and will inherit and be taken over
by the accumulated souls of the kings if he survives his cousin. As they
attend the death of the Hallow King, Wencel captures the kingship of the Weald
and becomes truly the new Hallow King, unbeknownst to all but Ingrey. Using
shamanic powers, Wencel forces his wife Fara and Ingrey to accompany him on a
journey to Bloodfield. Ingrey confronts Wencel whose body dies, making Ingrey
responsible for letting the dead souls of four thousand soldiers rejoin their
gods. Thankfully, Ijada, Hallana and a few friends arrive just in time to play
the roles of conduits to the gods while Ingrey cleanses the souls of the
soldiers from their animal souls. Ingrey also marries Ijada on the spot after
the Old Weald fashion. Ingrey then somehow relinquishes his role of Hallow
King and lets the son of the previous king take over. He also marries Ijada in
a more usual ceremony.

Mexican special prosecutor Miguel Vargas takes an interest in the
investigation of a murder that has just happened in a town along the
US-Mexican border where he is honeymooning with his American wife Susie. The
investigation is led by veteran police captain Hank Quinlan who, Vargas
quickly comes to notice, fabricates evidence to justify arresting people he
believes are guilty. Joe Grandi, leader of the crime family Vargas has been
investigating, associates with Quinlan against Vargas. He sends his boys to
the isolated and empty motel where Susie is waiting for her husband, where
they leave traces of drug use before kidnapping her and taking her into town.
Quinlan then kills Grandi and leaves his body in the hotel room where Susie is
kept prisoner, but forgets his cane. In the meanwhile, Vargas studies old
arrest reports from Quinlan to find evidence of the policeman's unethical
methods. After Grandi's body is found by the police and Susie put in prison
for drug usage, Quinlan's sergeant Menzies tells Vargas of what happened and
his suspicions that his superior killed Grandi. Together they come up with the
plan to get Quinlan to confess while being secretly recorded. The plan works
but leads to Quinlan and Menzies killing each other. Susie is exonerated, and
it is revealed that the suspect of the initial murder has confessed to the
crime.

Au XVIIè siècle, près de Turku, Untamo est un inventeur incompris. Remplaçant
un soldat qui s'est blessé en glissant sur la savonnette de son invention,
Untamo accompagne son seigneur à Turku. Ils sont attaqués en chemin et laisse
repartir un des malfrats en échange d'un pomme de terre. À Turku, Untamo est
invité à une soirée où des startupeurs présentent leurs inventions. De retour
chez lui à l'automne, il jette sa pomme de terre dans un tas de fumier et est étonné des
fleurs qui poussent l'année suivante. Devinant les possibilités commerciales
de la pomme de terre qui pousse plus facilement que le navet, il réunit des
amis et ensemble lèvent des fonds auprès du seigneur pour commencer une
plantation de pommes de terre. Mais la corporation des marchands de navets
leur met des bâtons dans les roues. Les ennuis commencent lorsque le seigneur
décide d'annuler une commande auprès du forgeron à qui ils avaient commandés
des outils et qui fait faillite. Sans les outils, la récolte sera gâchée. Leur
dette est rachetée par les marchands de navets, qui sabotent la récolte un
soir de gel, causant indirectement la mort d'un des associés d'Untamo. Untamo
et ses amis tentent alors une seconde levée de fonds, sans succès, et leur
entreprise et mise en faillite, tout est vendu et les marchands de navets
s'approprient les pommes de terre. Untamo vole alors les pommes de terres et
décide de les rendre open-source en les plantant un peu partout. Des années
plus tard, installé comme horloger, il est contacté par un marchand qui a fait
fortune dans l'alcool de ces pommes de terre qui poussent un peu partout, et
qui lui propose un partenariat.

Jackie Bellefort is planning to marry Simon Doyle, but when he meets her
rich friend Linnet Ridgeway he leaves Jackie to marry Linnet. Six weeks later,
Poirot is in Egypt and through his friend Bouc attends the wedding of Simon
and Linnet. The couple is constantly harassed by Jackie and decides, to escape
her, to organize a cruise on the Nile with the wedding guests. Jackie manages
to get on board anyway and one evening in the saloon, when most guests are
already in their cabins, she points a gun at Simon and shoots him in the leg
before running away. People run around, fetch a doctor to tend to Simon's
wound and catch Jackie. The next morning however, Linnet is found dead in her
bed by her maid Louise and her valuable necklace stolen. Poirot starts to
investigate and discovers that a scarf and a tube of red paint had disappeared
in the past few days. Later Louise is found dead with money in her pocket.
After a round of interrogations, Poirot infers that Bouc had found Linnet dead
before Louise and stolen the necklace, as he is not rich enough to marry
Rosalie. Bouc had witnessed Louise's murder, but is killed before revealing
the killer. Poirot then locks the guests in the saloon and reveals how it
happened. Jackie has pretended to wound Simon, who used the red paint to
simulate blood and who then had the time to pickup the gun, run to Linnet's
cabin and kill her before coming back to the saloon and shoot himself in the
leg, muffling the shot with the scarf. He has been in love with Jackie all
along and followed her plan to marry Linnet and the kill her to inherit her
fortune. Jackie also killed Louise who was blackmailing her, as well as Bouc
who had seen them. Jackie then kills Simon and herself.

The Gingerbreadman, a vicious killer, has escaped from the psychiatric
hospital, but for political reasons the Nursery Crime Division is not allowed
to investigate; Jack Spratt is even suspended. Spratt is then privately asked
to investigate the disappearance of Goldilocks, a journalist who was
investigating mysterious explosions (three past and one present) that seem to
be related to the growing of record-size cucumbers by retired pysicists. After
finding a house in the forest with three bears, Spratt discovers Goldilock's
remains at SommeWorld, a theme park about the Battle of the Somme, financed
by the Qangle Wangle, that features simulated artillery explosions that are
actually dangerous. Spratt is then lured back to the bear's house only to find
they have been shot, and is attacked by the Gingerbreadman who manages to
escape. One clue left by the papa bear leads to a member of parliament that is
friendly to the community of anthropomorphic bears who lives in Reading. Jack
eventually understands that it is false trail, and that the real culprit is a
fourth bear bearing the same initials and the lover the mama bear in the
house and head of the secretive National Service who has been harrassing Jack
during his investigation. Jack's team then disarms a nuclear device that was
set to explode in the bear district: a giant cucumber that is able to extract
deuterium and tritium from water and that, when reaching the critical mass of
50 kg is able to self-ignite. Returning to SommeWorld, Jack confronts the head
of QuangTech, who is associated with the fourth bear. They escape while the
Gingerbreadman (for whom Jack has found proof that he was made by the
now-defunct experiment weapons division of QuangTech) plays a vicious game of
cat and mouse with the detectvie. Immune to bullets due to his
biscuit-texture, Jack uses the offices' sprinkler system to soak and disable
him.
