Tove Ginger has never been one to fit in. She considers herself a naught, she's not important. She has no means whatsoever to move from Norway to Britain, but her mum, who left her father when Tove was 1, passes away in a heart beat- or no heartbeat, that is. Tove's mum has a heart attack, leaving her to her father, a famous author, who just might forget about her. Getting used to the town of London. Once settled, she decides to go to a nearby shop and pretend to be British, when a woman is supposedly trying to kill a man-- her father. Tove decides to call the police, and they hire a "private investigator"(which she learns is actually a consulting detective-the only one too) for her. She'll have a few problems with him, though. Alot of problems.
