Publisher's Synopsis
"The peaceful existence of the animals in the Far Woods is threatened by a crime wave in this third volume of the fanciful Beastly Crimes Book series. First, an underground art exhibition is robbed. Soon after, Marquise, a pampered, snow-white Persian, is kidnapped from the cat show. To Chief Badger and his ambitious assistant, Badgercat, all clues point to the snooty Arctic Fox as the culprit-until the emergence of Claws of Rage, a nefarious group of nonpedigreed agitators seeking vengeance against purebred, well-fed, happy-go-lucky animals. Newly translated from the original Russian, this charmingly illustrated story is the latest in an imaginative mystery series geared toward middle-grade readers. Look for the sequel, The Plucker, as well as the previous novels, In the Wolf's Lair and A Predator's Rights, all available from Dover Publications."
