Cat Burglar in Soho

By Evangeline Auld

Cat Burglar in Soho is a detective story with a difference!   Bad things are happening all over Britain – riots and disturbances are getting more and more widespread and no-one knows why.   People normally law-abiding are becoming suddenly physically violent.   Things are getting out of hand.   The Agency is unable to get to the source of the trouble and Sebastian is called in to put his unusual skills to work.

Sebastian is a very valuable member of the Agency as he can operate in a way that no-one else can.   Very soon he is on the track of the criminals responsible for the violent outbreaks and gets an old friend, Jackson, to give him some back-up.

The two friends follow their noses through the streets and markets of Soho and come across a likely clue.   Their loyalty to the Agency leads them to investigate further but takes them into dark and dangerous territory.

Cat Burglar in Soho is a detective story for older children and maybe adults too.   Be prepared for a little surprise a short way into the book!

Sebastian growled irritably to himself as he pulled on his grey suede gloves.  The weather was appalling, cold, wet and windy, not the kind of weather for the job he had in mind.

In the background he could hear Tabitha twittering away to the children, trying to quieten the uproar of the three over-excited young ones, rolling and wrestling on the living room carpet.  In a way this cheered him a little, at least his job would get him away from all the racket and confusion. 

With a half-glance over his shoulder he called out, Bye Tabitha, bye children! and made his escape out of the front door.

As he left the house he noticed, with a slight shock, the state of the house over the way.  A large wrecking-ball was in place, hovering on its crane like some antique weapon for ending a siege.  In a way, that's what it was, he thought.
