Description: -- From jacket front flap:
The worst of a really good children's book is that all the grown-ups want to read it as well. They make you put it down when you are in the middle of a specially exciting bit, just because they want you to tidy up something they say you've left lying around, and then when you come back they are reading it themselves. And that is what will happen to /this/ book if you don't look out.
You remember Mr Twink, the half Siamese cat-detective, of course. Well, this is another of his adventures. When that well-meaning dog, Sergeant Boffer, returned from a pleasant holiday with his master, the village policeman, the other animals stared at him in a manner that made him wonder if he had a flea on his nose. But the trouble was really more serious than that, for Boffer discovered that there was treachery afoot, and he was in danger of losing his important position of Top Dog and Officer of the Law in the village.
Then the crime of kidnapping broke out, and even his best friend, Mr Twink, seemed to doubt him. But nobody /really/ knew what that brilliant cat-detective was thinking. In his own way, Mr Twink found out the truth, and thanks to his cleverness Sergeant Boffer can once more hold up his head and wag his tail in his own happy village.
