Synopsis
Rats!They're everywhere - in the breadbins, dancing across tabletops, stealing pies from under the cooks' noses. So what does every town need? A good Piper to lure them away.
That's where Maurice comes in. But he's only a cat (even if one that talks), so although he has the ideas, he needs rats and someone to play the pipe. Who better than the kid to play the pipe? And Dangerous Beans. And Peaches. And Hamnpork (who doesn't really like what's been happening since The Change - all a rat leader really needs is to be big and stroppy - thinking is just not his thing.) And Darktan. And Sardines. And all the others in the Clan.
Then they arrive in Bad Blintz . . . which is suffering from a plague of rats, and find there are NO rats anywhere (though the two resident rat-catchers seem to have plenty of tails to show, at 50 pence per tail.)
Someone else has had ideas, and Maurice is not pleased.

Herring on the Nile - L. C. Tyler
In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, novelist Ethelred Tressider embarks on a "research trip" to Egypt. No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
