Murder, Rats, and danger run rampant on Rotten Row with a rat-catcher called the Pied Piper terrorizing the town!

A woman is found dead in an alley of the bad part of town called Rotten Row. She's thought to have been bludgeoned to death, but as Lady Vivienne Harlowe and Sheriff Zachariah Fitch investigate the crime, it is soon realized that she was poisoned.

Lurking in the shadows of this filthy, disgusting part of town is the murderer, watching their every move. Because of a severe rat infestation on Rotten Row, a rat-catcher has been hired and the townsfolk refer to him as none other than the Pied Piper. With a young lad to assist him, the Pied Piper, a black cat with multi-colored eyes, and two rat-hunting ferrets have managed to terrorize just about everyone, especially the children.
