In a flat near Reykjavik city centre, a young man lies dead in a pool of blood. There is no sign of a break-in: the only clues are a woman`s purple shawl, found under the bed in the next room, and a vial of prescription drugs in the victim`s pocket.

Even Paddington can`t come to much harm in half an hour, said Mrs Brown optimistically. But he can manage a lot of other things in even less time - like hanging Mr Curry`s lawnmower from a tree-top, or coming up through the bandstand floor during the `Surprise Symphony`. Then Paddington has a sticky time of it making toffee in Mrs Bird`s kitchen, and an even stickier time explaining what went wrong. And who else but Paddington could set Father Christmas`s beard on fire?
