But when Jones shoots a federal officer, and the bodies of two peaceful, local residents are found brutally murdered in their home, even the suspicious Feline Detective knows that things are only going to get worse. Joe, Dulcie, and their tattercoat friend Kit—an indomitable feline trio with special powers that only a few select humans are privy to––team up to capture the thief, and in one of award-winning author Shirley Rousseau Murphy’s most suspenseful and unforgettable books to date, bring peace to the town they love.“As usual, the felines and their human coterie are appealing (at least to cat fanciers), and the virtually nonstop action will keep the series’ fans whipping through the pages.” —Booklist“Engaging . . .
