Sunny Coolidge left her New York City newspaper job to go
back to Maine and take care of her ailing father. But
thereβs not much excitementβor interesting workβin Kittery
Harbor. So when Ada Spruance, the townβs elderly cat lady,
asks for help finding her supposedly-winning lottery
ticket, Sunny agrees. But when she arrives at Adaβs, with
a stray tomcat named Shadow tagging along, they discover
the poor woman dead at the bottom of her stairs. Was it an
accidentβor did Adaβs death have to do with that missing
lottery ticket, which turns out to be worth six million
dollars?
Town Constable Will Price suspects the worst. And Sunnyβs
reporter instincts soon drive her to do some investigating
of her own. Even Shadow seems to have a nose for detective
work. Following the trail of the purrloined ticket, Sunny
and Shadow try to shed some light on a killerβs dark
motivesβbefore their own numbers are upβ¦
