När Darkus Cuttles pappa försvinner spårlöst från sitt jobb på Naturhistoriska Museet måste Darkus bo hos sin farbror Max. Han och vännerna Bertolt och Virginia vill lösa mysteriet. Kanske kan de ta hjälp av sina nya grannar, skalbaggarna, som visar sig vara allt annat än vanliga insekter... M. G. Leonard är en prisbelönad, engelsk författare av böcker, dikter och teaterföreställningar. Hon har också arbetat en del i musikbranschen. Just nu bor hon i Brighton med sina två söner. Denna bok är den första delen i trilogin om pojken Darkus Cutter och hans intelligenta skalbaggar som förväntas avslutas med en tredje och sista del år 2018.

Detta är den magkittlande, andra delen i berättelsen om Darkus Cutter, hans vänner Bertolt och Virginia och deras skalbaggar. Darkus pappa är lyckligtvis vid liv, men försvinner igen precis efter att ha fått se skalbaggarna. Det verkar som att han gått över till den onda sidan och Lucretia Cutter. Nu måste de ta hjälp av farbror Max och kanske till och med Lucretias dotter, Novak. Med sig har de sina skalbaggar som troget hjälper dem. Hur ska det gå? Och vad är det för ondskefull plan som uppdagas?

Eigentlich will Darkus nur herausfinden, wieso sein Vater auf mysteriöse Weise verschwunden ist. Doch plötzlich steckt er mitten in einem wahnwitzigen Abenteuer: Er wird von seinen (überaus seltsamen) Nachbarn eingesperrt und von einer Horde Käfer befreit - angeführt von Baxter, dem riesigen Nashornkäfer. Seine neuen krabbelnden Freunde muss er nun unbedingt vor einer exzentrischen Modedesignerin beschützen. Doch wie hängt das alles zusammen?
