Synopsis

"Polly is a real estate solicitor. She is also losing her mind. Someone keeps drinking her coffee. And talking to her clients. And doing her job. And when she goes to the dry cleaners to pick up her dress, it's not there. Not the dress--the dry cleaners. And then there are the chickens who think they are people. Something strange is definitely going on-and it's going to take more than a magical ring to sort it out."--P. [4] of cover.
