Bookroo's summary

Hank, the Head of Ranch Security, is caught napping, and soon discovers Pete the Barncat is missing. Tasked by Sally May to find Pete, Hank uncovers a tangled mystery involving his old buzzard friends and a menacing bobcat named Sinister. Can Hank solve the case before it's too late, or will Pete fall into the wrong paws? The stakes are high as Hank races against time to unravel the truth and save Pete from danger.

From the publisher

No self-respecting Head of Ranch Security would be caught dead sleeping on the job…so when Slim catches Hank asleep, not once but TWICE, Hank knows something sinister is afoot. And, if that’s the case, then odds are that Pete the Barncat is involved.

Later that day, the case takes an interesting twist when Hank learns that Pete has been missing for two days! Worried about her precious kitty, Sally May asks Slim and Hank to find and rescue Pete from whatever trouble he might’ve found himself in. However, when Hank runs into his old friends Wallace and Junior the buzzards, he learns that Sinister the Bobcat might also be on Pete’s trail…and he’s not interested in returning Pete to Sally May!
