Synopsis: Here is more catnip for the many cat lovers and mystery buffs who devoured the first volume of Cat Crimes. Editors Martin H. Greenberg and Ed Gorman have been on the prowl again to gather nineteen brand-new tales of mystery and suspense from modern masters, inspired by the cat. Each tale, like each cat, is an original. There is the spoiled Persian that threatens a marriage in Nancy Pickard's "Every Wednesday"; the loyal cats that guard a frail old man in Christopher Fahy's "Hunger"; the predatory butterscotch Tom in Bill Pronzini's "Tom"; the hardboiled detective cat in Carole Nelson Douglas' "The Maltese Double Cross"; the jealous husband's nemesis in Bill Crider's "The New Black Cat"; the sorceress' familiar in Charlotte MacLeod's "A Long Time Sitting"; John Suter's terrifying robot cat "Remote"; and a mangy yellow Tom in Joan Hess' "The Maggody Files: Hillbilly Cat," who proves the truth in the old adage that "where there's old ladies and a cat, the nephew's up to no good." There are eleven more contributions from Edward D. Hoch, June Haydon, B.W. Battin, Les Roberts, Margaret Maron, Richard Laymon, Carolyn Wheat, Barbara Collins, Sharyn McCrumb, Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Jeremiah Healy, sure to please the most finicky reader.
