Professor Crawford Bond, the eminent, yet deeply flawed scientist is on a mission. This time it is personal. He wants his money back. A Yorkshire pop concert where his best friend Henry was performing has been hijacked. Henry is at death’s door, a victim of an unprecedented level of violence and destruction; but no one owing Ð10 should be allowed to die.

Henry’s not going to get away with it that easily! The police are in denial regarding thousands of fatalities and missing persons, preferring instead to focus on a cat that has gone walkabout. They claim Henry’s injuries were caused in a road traffic accident. Bond smells a rat, suspecting a monumental cover up.

Could he be onto something? He senses so, especially when he is actually arrested for failure to search for a cat!
