How to live with animals and look after them with Di Fisher and Michael Frostick.

Does the risk of rabies really justify Britain's severe quarantine for animals arriving from abroad? Can the enforced six months' stay in kennels cause dogs or cats any hardship? Other countries accept inoculation as proof against rabies. Why not us? A report from the Hackbridge quarantine kennels in Surrey, largest of their kind in the world.

Miss Daley has given up working as a solicitor's secretary because her old boss is leaving. When she finds out that he is still with the firm she becomes very ill. She goes to see Jo Hardy about her collapse and tells Jo that she is convinced she has heart trouble.
Unfortunately Miss Daley trails trouble after her, and Jo soon finds that there is very much more to this case than meets the eye.
