'An astonishing novel' Financial Times
IT'S A RAT-EAT-RAT WORLD . . .
Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats - strangely educated rats . . .
But in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. Because someone there is not playing by the rules, and now the rats must learn a new word.
EVIL.
The rules have changed. And this story is no longer dancing to the piper's tune . . .
