Publisher's Synopsis
"A beautifully-written and fantastical adventure... an exciting and amusing journey through Jacobean England in all its corrupt and grimy glory."
Inges is not a good cat. Sure, he saves the day, helps the weak, tweaks the noses of kings and wins the hearts of beauties. But he's no hero: he's just looking after number one.
England 1621: A killer stalks the Yorkshire Dales and when Inges' human is accused of witchcraft he is to forced leave his quiet rural home for the grime and glamour of Jacobean London. His search for justice will entangle him in a sinister plot that has its claws in the highest levels of English society - and beyond.
With a cast of swaggering kings, heroic frogs, drunken playwrights and deadly assassins, Inges is a genre-hopping historical mystery set against the backdrop of religious war, political intrigue and paranoia in 17th Century Europe.
The untold and unlikely story of one of England's most notorious witch trials as seen through the mismatched eyes of a self-absorbed, cynical, but ultimately likeable, cat.
"A beautiful mixture of mystery, adventure, and historical fiction... [the] writing is great. A clearly set tone throughout, effective pace, and perfect levels of complexity"
"Amusing, exciting and thoroughly engaging. Inges himself is a splendid creation"
