3y Octavius O'Malley and the Mystery of the Criminal Cats Pymble : HarperCollins Australia , 2008 Z1523440 2008 single work children's fiction children's mystery adventure 'Humphrey Bogart's got nothing on this rat! Inspector Octavius O'Malley is on the case. It started with some missing cobblestones and a bump on the head of one of Rodent City's young police rats. And it is not the mice who are to blame ... Even though Ocko makes a mess and loses his job, Rodent City's finest detective (self-confessed) can't be kept from pursuing the case. A rat has to pay the rent, so Ocko hangs out his shingle as a private investigator. His first client wants him to find her missing son, whose workplace has special significance for our doughnut-lovin' hero. And could it be that there's a link between the two mysteries?! When Ocko's informant - a down-and-out moggy named Mulligan - puts him on the unsavoury scent of a creepy cat cult, things get dicey indeed for Ocko, Spencer and Patrick. And the villain of the piece might not look familiar at first glance, but a rat with a brilliant, diamond-hard mind like Octavius O'Malleys knows that appearances can be deceiving ...
