What happens when three schoolchildren, Jennifer, Snoth and Nystagmus, discover a cat that’s being tortured? How do they get involved with an international criminal gang? And who is Dr Vandersluys, the tall, pale stranger who always wears sunglasses and dresses in black?

In a scary world, the children – who call themselves ‘A Threefold Cord’ – find they must be brave and clever and loyal and kind to save themselves and others.

The story is thrilling and funny and full of unexpected twists and turns and mysterious characters.
