About the book:
In the latest mystery
from the New York Times bestselling author of The Cat, the Sneak
and the Secret, a cat collector is suspected of murder.
Jillian Hart and police chief Tom Stewart are enjoying peaceful, newly wedded
bliss in Mercy, South Carolina, until a woman is found wandering the streets
one night. She's in her night clothes, disoriented, and carrying a kitten in a
tote bag. A search of the woman’s house reveals many more cats, a maze of
cardboard boxes—and a dead man.
Although the evidence suggests the frail woman is the killer, Jillian doesn’t
believe she’s capable of such a crime. The dead man had many enemies in town,
which means finding the real murderer may prove to be its own cat and mouse
game...
