Description
An innocent young mouse lies murdered in a moonlit field as the screech of an owl echoes across the ripening corn...
The Deptford Mice have escaped the horrors of Jupiter's lair and sought refuge in the countryside with a colony of fieldmice, busy preparing for the great summer festival. But soon they must face terrifying evil once more, as a series of mysterious crimes strike the peaceful fieldmouse community. At first the simple country rodents suspect Deptford newcomer Audrey - however, the truth turns out to be far more sinister.
Reviews

Author Bio
Robin Jarvis (born May 8, 1963) is a British children's author who has entertained (and pleasantly terrified) generations of children with his brilliantly imagined dark fantasy stories, including the Deptford Mice and Whitby Witches series. The Dark Portal - the first book in the Deptford Mice series - was the runner up for the Smarties book prize in 1989.
