What's the perfect read for fans of New York Times bestselling mystery authors Lilian Jackson Braun and Rita Mae Brown? This delightful ninth Joe Grey Mystery from awardโwinning author Shirley Rousseau Murphy.
When antiques and valuables begin to disappear from residents' homes, Joe Grey, Feline Detective, knows that something is very wrong in sleepy Molena Point, California. Lost are a five hundred thousand dollar painting, a diamond choker, and most shocking to Joe, his owner Clyde's vintage Packard roadster. But even a seasoned tomcat like Joe isn't prepared for the return of a yellowโeyed, sinister black cat who had terrorized him and his girlfriend Dulcie years before.
The acidโtongued Azrael had paired with an old crook to loot the town and spread fear among the unsuspecting residents. Could Azrael and his partner be connected to this new set of crimes? But when a local waiter dies mysteriously at the art opening of one of Joe and Dulcie's closest human friends, the pair know that someone much more powerful and evil than Azrael's aging human friend is involved.
And when miles away in San Francisco the cats' friend Kateโโa woman with a mysterious, troubling secretโโis followed by a stranger and robbed, the cats dig in their claws and investigate. Along with their tatter-coat friend Kit, they pass clues to the police, and under the often skeptical eye of Clyde, slowly begin to sniff out the truth.
