First sentence: It was a bitterly cold day in very early March, and Sergeant Boffer, the policeman's dog, who had been visiting at a farm just outside the village, rather wished he had never left his mistress's snug kitchen as he trotted back home across country, in the teeth of a piercing wind.
Description: -- From jacket front flap:
When, one morning, Sergeant Boffer, the policeman's dog, hears a strange voice, apparently from nowhere, crying a warning, he does not know that he and that clever cat, Mr Twink, are about to start a new adventure.  But the coming of an old ship's puss starts all sorts of trouble in the village.

It is Mr Twink, of course, who unravels the mystery of the threatening messages the animals are getting, and who learns that they are all in danger from a great gang of pirate rats.  Finally, undaunted by the kidnapping of two little friends of his, he uses his keen wits and his cool courage to overthrow these desperate characters, and with the help of the brave Sergeant Boffer rescues the prisoners and saves the village.
Notes: The sixth in the series of nine Mr Twink stories.
