Theda Krakow is in a funk. Her sometime boyfriend's gone
for good. The death of her beloved cat opened a bigger
void. And the career leap she's made from copy editor to
freelance writer has left her financesand her spiritflat.
She desperately needs a headline to get her life back on
track.
One day, out for a stroll in her Cambridge
neighborhood, Theda spies an adorable stray kitten. This
charmer leads Theda to an old woman holed up in a decrepit
house full of cats. Is this one of those "crazy cat
ladies," a classic hoarder, or is the old woman a
neighborhood do-gooder
More important, is this the
story to catapult Theda out of the dumps
But when
she returns to interview Lillian Helmhold, Theda finds her
fascinating subject dead of an apparent accident. The
neighbors are celebrating, the police aren't interested,
and the cats are removed to a shelter. End of
story
Not for Theda--one or two things don't
compute. So Theda marshals her investigative journalism
skills to turn gumshoe.
