Publisher's summary

It's very unusual to find a tiger in the TARDIS. But it's even more unusual to find one heavily dosed in radiation. But this is far from the most unusual occurrence the Doctor, Naomi and Harry are going to encounter today. Because they are about to meet Charles Jamrach, supplier of exotic animals to the rich and royal, who is unaware that his famous menagerie conceals a deadly terror. A strange creature out for blood...

Plot

Part one

After burying Top the Wombat, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Alexa Wilding head to Shadwell where the Doctor is complaining that a pie he purchased tastes of cat. The Doctor saves street urchin Tom Peck from the grip of a tiger which he takes back to Harry and Naomi in the TARDIS, the instruments of which identify the tiger as radioactive. Charles Jamrach, the tiger's owner, is pointed to the TARDIS by Tom and demands the tiger's return so that he can gift it to the Queen, something the Doctor refuses to do until he has checked it over in a stasis field. Jamrach shows the three travellers his menagerie aboard a ship in a warehouse in the East End and explains how the tiger escaped.
