Morton Chapel's daughter Megan has come out of catatonia at last, but she didn't come back to life alone. Seth, her demonic alter ego, is with her, and the two of them have already wreaked bloody havoc. The hunt is now on between Chapel, who's convinced killing his daughter is the only solution, his team bent on preventing him from doing so, and Megan's grandfather, an insane, megalomaniac industrialist who believes he owes Seth his fortune...

Platsen är någonstans på den franska landsbygden, tidpunkten någon gång mellan de två världskrigen; här finner vi ett slott, bortglömt av människor och enväldigt styrt av den hårdnackade tjuren Silvio och hans hundmilis. Utan pardon, med diktatorisk järnhov,  arbetas djuren på slottet till utmattningens gräns, allt för samhällets bästa ... Fröken Bengalore, en rädd och kuvad katt som försöker skydda sina två ungar, slår sig samman med kaninen César och den kloka, mystiska råttan Azaskiner i kampen mot orättvisan. Motståndet, olydnaden och det okuvliga skrattet blir deras vapen, i kampen mot diktaturens tänder och klor. Fröken Bengalore är den första delen av fyra i serien om Djurslottet. Handlingen är löst baserad på George Orwells roman Djurfarmen (1945) och är bitvis skrämmande aktuell.

Vintertid. Situationen är svår och mödosam för invånarna på slottet, då president Silvio fortsätter sin skräckterror ... Men fröken B och hennes vänner, kaninen Caesar och råttan Azaskiner, har inte sagt sitt sista ord och deras motståndsrörelse fortsätter sin kamp. Kommer hon att kunna övertyga sina vänner att fortsätta motståndet under fredliga former? Det kommer att bli en tuff utmaning ...

På slottet fortsätter diktaturen. Kaninen Caesar, den gamla råttan Azélar och Miss B måste övertyga djuren att inte ge efter för våld för att sätta stopp för Silvios regeringstid... Men Silvio låter sig inte bevekas och tjurdiktatorn är fast besluten att upprätthålla sin makt. Med hjälp av sin grymma hundmilis fängslar han de upproriska djuren i slottets fängelsehålor.

Will Cuba be free, or will it become part of the United States? As the election draws near, Cuba becomes a powder keg. The exactions of El Santero continue, terrifying the liberators-turned-occupiers and enflaming the spirit of the freedom-starved Cubans. In response, American authorities don't hesitate to use extreme violence to ensure that their candidate will win and become not the president of the Republic of Cuba, but the first governor of the 46th state. For the SPOOKS, torn between duty and convictions, the danger is real, and choices will have to be made...

After the SPOOKS' difficult mission in Cuba, Morton Chapel has accepted Kathryn Lennox's help in attempting to treat his daughter, Megan. The girl has been catatonic since she witnessed her father shoot her demented mother Madeleine. But Chapel speaks of possession rather than insanity; an hypothesis the rational Kathryn finds it difficult to accept. And Madeleine's father, a mining industry mogul, intends to exact his revenge from the SPOOKS leader.

Cuba, 1902. Freed from its Spanish masters by US forces four years ago, the island is still occupied by its erstwhile liberators, some of whom aren't all that eager to leave. American businessmen and politicians would like to see Cuba become a full state, while the Cuban people dream only of freedom. When people begin dying...and then come back to life, the SPOOKS are sent to investigate the possible involvement of a Cuban priest and rebel leader - a santero.

1895. Members of the East Coast elite have died under mysterious circumstances. To investigate this delicate problem, Richard Clayton - against the wishes of the President - calls upon a man named Morton Chapel for his unorthodox methods and peculiar associates. As they begin to uncover strange, vanishing marks on people's bodies, unexplained changes in behaviour and hints of widespread corruption, the team reforms around the name Ulysses S. Grant himself gave it years earlier: his SPecialists in the Odd and the OCcult - his SPOOKS.

To save America from those who would steal it, the Spooks will have to battle an evil from the dawn of civilisation. Important personalities have been dying or going crazy. Investigator Morton Chapel and his men discover that they are on the trail of an ancient evil, something dating back to ancient Babylon and brought back to life by a British occultist. As the dark magician leaves a trail of corruption throughout the country's ruling elite, the Spooks realise that the threat is directed at the highest level of government and only they can stop it.
