The police have Internal Affairs departments. British Intelligence has John Purkiss, the Ratcatcher.Purkiss's job is straightforward. Track down agents of the intelligence services who are taking kickbacks, committing crimes, or otherwise abusing their positions. And bring them to justice.Straightforward doesn't mean easy...After a renegade British former spymaster, Fallon, is sighted in the Baltic city of Tallinn on the eve of a historic summit meeting between the Russian and Estonian presidents, Purkiss is despatched to investigate, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear Europe, and the world, apart. But Purkiss has personal reasons for going after Fallon. Four years ago, Fallon was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Purkiss's fiancée, a murder Purkiss himself witnessed.Now, in an atmosphere of treachery and sudden violence, as the countdown begins to a potentially catastrophic conflict between Russia and the West, Purkiss must keep his desire for revenge under control for the sake of the world's - and his own - survival.Described in Amazon reviews as a "cracker of a spy thriller" with "superbly choreographed action scenes" that "leave you feeling almost dizzy", RATCATCHER is both an adrenaline-fuelled action adventure novel and a hardboiled mystery story which exposes the world of the spy, in which few motives and actions are purely black or white.

Welcome to the fascinating realm of ratting and pest control, where ancient techniques merge with contemporary practices in tackling one of mankind’s oldest adversaries.

In these sections, we reveal the cultural relevance as well as the evolutionary path that ratting practices have taken, thereby giving us a better understanding of why they still matter today. From the simple effectiveness of wooden traps to the strategic placement of poison baits, we examine time-honoured tactics passed down through generations. Additionally, we will also review some popular breeds of ratting dogs, like the Patterdale Terrier or the tenacious Jack Russell Terrier which will also be illuminated here, We will examine and take into account their history, traits and training methods. Nonetheless, rat control is not only a tradition it also embraces innovation.
