Vampire Voles
Muggidrear, the capital city on the island of Welkin, is in danger of becoming a vampire colony! Ghostly ships are arriving from Slattland, filled with coffins, and the vampire voles are becoming a real pain in the neck. Even the Mayor's sister, Princess Sybil, has been bitten.
Montagu Sylver, the famous weasel detective, suspects that someone is deliberately sending the vampires across the seas to destroy Welkin for ever. With his trusty companions, he sets out for Slattland, determined to find - and destroy - their master. And to make matters worse, the anarchist Spindrick has a fiendish plot of his own: to put the whole city to sleep so he can wreak havoc.
Will Monty come whisker to whisker with the evil master vampire? And can he stop Spindrick before his plans get completely out of paw?
The second deliciously witty tale in the Welkin Weasels series to feature Montagu Sylver.

Welkin Weasels is a series divided into two trilogies. The first three books follow the adventures of Sylver the weasel and his small band of outlaws, both jacks and jills. Long ago, before they were born, all the humans left Welkin and the weasels now live a miserable life, under the heavy paw of vicious stoat rulers. Syler and his intrepid company of weasels, set off on a quest to find the humans who abandoned the land many years ago and bring them back to Welkin. Their journey take them through a myriad adventures. A highly inventive and funny animal fantasy set in a land where humans have vanished, leaving the realm in the paws of the animals...
The second trilogy starts with Gaslight Geezers, and these three books can be read independently of the first three. Set in Victorian times, a famous weasel detective, named Montagu Silver, investigates mysteries from his home in Breadoven Street.
