'The hero is to the veterinary world what Richard Gordon's doctor was to the medical.' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Vet Among the Pigeons is the fifth in Alex Duncan's hilarious series, which began with It's a Vet's Life. When London-based veterinary Michael Morton does his annual stint as a locum for Phil Brogan in the idyllic village of Craftley, trouble, unsurprisingly, comes his way. Tiger and Claire have gone into the livestock business and have a herd of sheep headed by a magnificent ewe nicknamed the Bionic Baa. But when the ubiquitous Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food demands that all farmers use a sheep-dip so virulent that it threatens to be more destructive than the disease it is meant to combat, Michael Morton takes on the blinkered bureaucracy with crusading fervour - and with consequences that encompass the lives of all the Craftley inhabitants we have come to know and love.
