Detective Daintypaws: Nicking Ben Cloppers: Crime-Solving Cat Adventures

By Andrew Lawston

"It's Garfield meets Murder, She Wrote "

Her last miaow.

A horde of monsters, demons, and spirits rampages across Barnes

Nightly apparitions of supernatural chaos are tearing apart the mean streets of SW13, upending bins and impacting property prices. Only one detective can stop them - right after her mid-morning nap.

Detective Daintypaws suspects her old enemy, DCI Popplewell. To thwart him, she must push herself to the limits of feline endurance and beyond, even as far as... Hammersmith.

The crime-solving cat faces a growing undead army, and must call on all her allies and resources. When streamwise ducks, plain-speaking herons, librarian cats, Inedible hamsters and laconic vampires are no longer enough, she must consider desperate measures.

But fate has placed a familiar face in Buscemi's path. Someone from her past. Someone she never thought she would see again. Someone who has unfinished business... spoggling business.

The adventures of Detective Daintypaws reach their astonishing conclusion, and Southwest London will never be the same again.

The third and final novel in the critically acclaimed series, Nicking Ben Cloppers is perfect for fans of Kim M. Watt, Steve Higgs, L T Shearer, R.F. Kristi, Mandy Morton, Helen Golden, and Nic Saint, among others.
