It took Joe Grey's human,
Clyde, nearly forever to pop the question to Ryan Flannery,
and what more romantic time to tie the knot than on
Valentine's Day? But dark secrets from the past, uncovered
by Joe and his feline pals, threaten to ruin the happy
union.
First, a body discovered many miles away
reopens a ten-year-old cold case involving a man who
disappeared days before his own wedding. The jilted bride is
back in town and eager to find the truth . . . or to hide
evidence of her own wrongdoing. Trouble is, she's soon
involved with Ryan's father, who is house-sitting and
preparing meals for Joe Grey while Clyde and Ryan are on
their honeymoon.
Then another body is found closer
to home on the grounds of a ruined estate, deserted save for
a band of unusual feral cats. Around the wrist of the corpse
is a bracelet bearing the image of a rearing cat, and the
cats discover a rare literary volume hidden nearby that
divulges their own secret: their special ability to speak.
But as the police investigate the two murders,
located more than five hundred miles apart, only Joe Grey
suspects that the crimes are related. It takes a chase from
which the tomcat wonders if he'll emerge alive for anyone to
hone in on the connection between the murders. Finally,
feline perception and cop sense combine to bring a killer to
justice in this delightful new tale involving Shirley
Rousseau Murphy's three amazing cats.
