Synopsis

'Ladybirds. What a summer for them! They were simply everywhere. Dorothy was ordinarily happy to see them in her garden, but this year there was such an abundance of them that it really was rather alarming?'

Something is amiss in the peaceful surroundings of the English countryside. Ladybirds are everywhere and Dorothy Clutterbuck is quite sure that they have sinister intent. But who will believe the delusions of a middle-aged spinster locked up in the secret prison known only as The Institute? Will anyone listen before it is too late to turn back the red tide? With the help of one or two friends along the way, it might just be possible to overcome the dangers and the disbelief, but the path is fraught with peril. Can Dorothy triumph? There is only one way to find out!
