Boudicca and Tony convince the police to launch Operation Takahe, an investigation into the 鈥淐roydon Cat Killer.鈥

Far from stepping back, Boudicca and Tony find themselves at the centre of the operation; investigating 鈥渃rime scenes,鈥 breaking bad news to pet owners and being interviewed by press. The case takes over their lives.
