The restless rats return in James Herbert's Lair, the second horror novel in the Rats trilogy.

Its two heads weaved to and fro and a stickiness drooled from its mouth as it remembered the taste of human flesh.James Herbert was one of Britain’s greatest popular novelists and our #1 bestselling writer of chiller fiction.
