What to expect

On a lovely moonlit night, while carrying a gift of mice to a litter of kittens, Joe Grey stumbles upon a murder scene. Behind an empty house, in an empty swimming pool, there's blood, the smell of human death, and drag marks. But there's no victim—and it's hard to prove a crime without a corpse.

Driven by stubborn feline curiosity, Joe Grey sets out to investigate. With Dulcie and Kit following him along a killer's trail, Joe discovers evidence of conflict among the residents of this seemingly peaceful neighborhood: multiple signs of breaking and entering, with nothing of value stolen. And they find something far worse: hints of violence yet to come—and more planned murder. With the help of local ferals, Joe, Kit, and Dulcie must now thwart a killer using the most unorthodox means at their disposal: a criminal's unnatural yet powerful fear of cats.

Critics Review

“Magical.”

Publishers Weekly

“Joe continues to be one of the most entrancing (and effective) detectives in modern cozy mysteries.”

Booklist

“A winner…For those not familiar with Joe and his lady friends, now might be a good time to make their acquaintance.”

Californian

“An irresistible mix of riveting action and purr-fectly marvelous two- and four-footed charachters.”

Monterey County Herald

“[The] premise, a mystery that withholds the identities of both the victim and the perp, is intriguing.”
