Book excerpt: An innocent mouse lies dead in a moonlit field, as the screech of an owl echoes across the ripening corn. Long, thin claws tighten around the neck of another mouse. And then another. Fleeing the horrors of the city's rat-infested sewers, the Deptford Mice take to the countryside, only to become embroiled in a series of murders. The country mice point their fingers at young, outspoken Audrey. With each death, their anger toward her boils with greater frenzy. But the simple village folk do not understand the dark forces reaching from the netherworld. The truth is far more sinister. Book One of The Deptford Mice trilogy-The Dark Portal-told the tale of terrible Jupiter, Lord of the sewers. The battle with evil is not yet over. Book jacket.
