It began with the Spackman brothers hunting and trapping badgers to sell to illegal baiting rings in various parts of England. The young team at Oyster Gables’ Animal Shelter then find themselves caught up in this wickedly cruel ‘sport’ and try everything to prevent it. The task is filled with risks and threats and they need the help of the Shelter’s Irish greyhound Degsey to bring the Spackman brothers to justice. Degsey has a magical gift, a sixth-sense that can mysteriously alter events as they happen. But the combination of a crooked Wildlife Warden, a poisoning attempt and a fire at Oyster Gables adds up to terrible danger and the greyhound is right in the path of it…
This enchantingly written story covers exciting aspects of wild animal rescue, fantasy, romance and a breathtaking all-action climax. Swiftly 2 is a fast, compelling novel which will hold the reader spellbound to the very last page.
