43 missing cats (and counting!)

There’s something strange going on in Stockbridge…
Fergus can’t believe it when his brand new
digital watch starts going backwards. Then he crashes (literally!) into gadget-loving Murdo,
and a second mystery comes to light: cats are disappearing all over town.
As the two boys start to unravel the mysterious case of the missing moggies, their investigations lead them deep beneath the streets of Edinburgh. Can they save themselves from a terrible fate before their time runs out?
