Jackaby are back again and within the trail of the thief, a monster, and a murderer. ‘I’ve found hardly any about private detective R. F. Jackaby to become standard in enough time I’ve known him.

F. Jackaby, are asked to research the supernatural. First, a vicious varieties of shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens, and the next day, their owner is found murdered with a single incomprehensible puncture wound.
