He begins to suspect that the Ratcatcher is part of a larger conspiracy involving powerful figures in the British government and military. With the help of his loyal friends and allies, Drummond sets out to uncover the truth behind the Ratcatcher's identity and put an end to his reign of terror.The Man in Ratcatcher is a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Fans of detective fiction and adventure stories will find much to enjoy in this exciting novel.1919. From the writer of the Bulldog Drummond Detective series comes The Man in Ratcatcher, which begins: Eaint much ter look at, Major, but �������e�������s a �������andy little �������orse. A groom chewing the inevitable straw, gave a final polish to the saddle, and then stood at the animal�������s head, waiting for the tall, spare man with the bronzed, weather-beaten face, who was slowing drawing on his gloves in the yard, to mount. Idly the groom wondered if the would-be sportsman knew which side of a horse it was customary to get into the saddle from; in fact one Nimrod recently-a gentleman clothed in spotless pink-had so far excelled himself as to come to rest facing his horse�������s tail.
