In the quiet seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea, the cats are dying. Gruesome remains are washing up on the beach, and local drivers are reporting horrific thuds on the bypass. The terrified community is certain a monster walks among them.

They're looking in the wrong place.

The killer isn't human. It's a seagull.

Bored with a life of petty chip theft, a magnificent Great Black-Backed Gull has honed a new, terrifying craft: becoming a master of feline abduction and execution. With the methodical precision of a feathered assassin, he silently snatches his victims, turning the sky into a killing field.

As the body count inexplicably rises, the town's fragile sanity begins to crack:

•
The Police: A pair of hilariously incompetent detectives stumble through an investigation, more concerned with their budding romance and office politics than with actual clues.

•
The Suspect: A sullen, internet-addicted teenager finds himself in the crosshairs, his viral video of the carnage making him the perfect scapegoat.

•
The Community: A town of pensioners and busybodies retreats into willful ignorance, far more horrified by the truth than by the deaths themselves.

But while the humans flounder, one cat has seen the enemy. Joseph, a brilliant Abyssinian, realizes he must take matters into his own paws. He begins to organize a clandestine feline army, uniting the neighborhood's pampered pets into a vengeful death squad. A war is brewing, and it won't be fought in a courtroom.

A savage, wildly imaginative, and darkly hilarious satire, this is a story about who the real animals are. It unearths the shocking absurdity lurking just beneath the surface of quiet suburban life, where the most sensible creature is the one plotting a murder.

Fans of Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen, and biting social commentary will devour this unforgettable novel. Click "Buy Now" and discover the most original thriller of the year.
