Hermux Tantamoq is an upstanding citizen and well respected watchmaker. He is your typical mouse, enjoying mellow evenings at home, reading, and playing with his pet ladybug. One day, Linka Perflinger, a daredevil aviator, brings a watch into Hermux's shop for repair. Hermux quickly falls for Linka, and is intrigued by her travels and adventures.
A shady rat attempts to pick up Linka's watch, and Hermux discovers that Linka has mysteriously disappeared. Loyal Hermux is intrigued and sets out to find out what happened. The quest is on to discover the formula for eternal youth, and Hermux finds himself entangled in a race against time. Some mice will murder for the fountain of youth!
If you liked "Stuart Little," Hermux is a great addition to literary mice. This is the first book in a mystery series, so make sure to check out "No Time Like Show Time," and "The Sands of Time."
