When Atticus receives a mysterious message asking him to a meeting in a sleepy coastal town, he packs his bags and sets off. The world's greatest cat burglar likes a good mystery, and this time curiosity has got the better of him ...
When Atticus arrives, he discovers that the writer of the message is none other than Jimmy the Magpie, infamous gang leader. Jimmy wants Atticus to steal all the jewels in town and leave the humans baffled.
But when Atticus moves in with Inspector Cheddar and his family, he starts to wonder if a life of crime is really for him . . .
Jennifer has been writing children's comedy for a couple of years. A former Barrister, she knows how to spot a cat burglar when she sees one, especially when he's a large tabby with a chewed ear and a handkerchief round his neck that says Atticus Claw. Jennifer's other books for children include Guinea Pigs On Line, co-written with Amanda Swift and published by Quercus. Jennifer lives in London and Scotland with her husband and four children, and of course Henry, a friendly but enigmatic cat.
