Escaping Los Angeles and the ugly memories of her son's
recent murder, Maudie Toola returns to her childhood home of
Molena Point, bringing her orphaned grandson, whom she must
now raise, with her. Mourning for her son, she's not looking
forward to the holidays but knows she must make them
positive for the child.
Maudie is unaware that the killer has followed her, nor does
she know that the small seaside village is dealing with a
series of brutal assaults. A team of criminals is stalking
single women, hiding their attacks behind spectacular
break-ins to divert the cops. And this time there's not even
a phone call from the four-footed snitch to give the cops a
lead.
Meanwhile, a new tomcat appears on the scene, a wise and
elderly wanderer who bears an important message from a state
prisoner for the chief of police. But this cat has a
personal agenda too—as does Maudie, who harbors her own
secret about her son's killer. As the lonely prison cat
provides the link between the mysteries, Joe Grey and his
pals, in turn, help him find a surprising new home, a safe
retreat in time for the holidays.
With a story both enchanting and suspenseful, Shirley
Rousseau Murphy shows once again why her trio of feline
sleuths are so beloved by her fans, and why the Joe Grey
mysteries should be at the top of every cat lover's
Christmas list.
