Burglar Cat 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 absolutely 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.
Burglar Cat 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!

The Seraphim. Beings of power, created to guide the world in times of trouble. They live their lives of near immortality in servitude to a lesser creature, man.
One rebelled. Amird, the Hand of the Creator, bridled at the sovereignty of his lord. In defiance he murdered a brother and was cast into the Mists of Chaos.
Millennia passed as the Deceiver plotted his return. Backed by the might of a seemingly unstoppable army of Ulrog Stone Men and their fire-eyed Malveel Lords, Amird plans to wrest control of the world from the Creator and rain violence on the humans he once served.
All that stands between Amird and his triumphant return are the remnants of battered human armies and the hope that Seraphim, loyal to the Creator, still roam this world.
Kael knows little of this struggle. His quiet village lies deep in the Southlands, unchanged and unchallenged by the wars raging in the frozen North. In fact, the boy longs for a bit of adventure and freedom from the boring routine at his father's inn.
Freedom comes at a cost. Kael's first journey outside his secluded village results in a tragedy so deep it destroys the boy's sheltered world and immerses him in the struggle.
Revelations surface. Kael uncovers a past linking him to legends, grapples with a present that resembles nothing he knows, and confronts a future that demands he tap long dormant power and stake a claim in the defense of the human races.
Kael's first step toward that future lies through the darkness of the Nagur Wood, and rumor has it something prowls the Nagur!

In the 1970s, a Hong Kong taipan, Donald MacGribben, sets out to obtain a secure future for the British Crown Colony amid uncertainty created by a power struggle in Maoist China. He arranges a meeting at the Canton (Kwangtung) Trade Fair with the Chinese Premier to seek a public assurance, in return for a substantial annual payment, that China has no immediate plans to seize HK. However, the Premier’s enemies are scheming to have him killed in a manner that will incriminate MacGribben, whose heroin-addicted wife has been blackmailed into carrying the murder weapon from Hong Kong into China.
Getting wind that MacGribben’s scheme is under threat, Hal Jernberg, his friend and partner, races to unravel the complex conspiracy of the Chinese leader’s opponents but becomes himself a target. Suspense builds up in this action drama as the time for the meeting of the Premier and MacGribben draws near.
The Peking Payoff takes the reader back to a China where rival factions are positioning themselves for the succession battle after the aging Mao Tse-tung (Mao Zedong) dies and to a Hong Kong still controlled from London through the Governor. The transfer of sovereignty over the territory from Britain to China is still more than two decades away.
Nine years after The Peking Payoff was published (in 1975), Teng Hsiao-ping (Deng Xiaoping) outlined his "one country, two systems" policy in relation to Hong Kong at a meeting with a delegation from the British Crown Colony. He declared that Hong Kong would “remain the same for a long time to come”. It was just what MacGribben sought to achieve.
