Three figures, shadowy against the light. That’s all I
remember from my past life, as I am dragged, dripping and
half-drowned, from the flood. My saviour, a strange,
pink-haired girl, is little help. She can barely care for
herself, let alone the boy she loves. And although she has
sworn to avenge the murder of her mentor, she must first
escape the clutches of drug dealers, murderers and thieves.
I would repay her kindness if I could. But we are alone in
this blighted city – and I am a cat.
The past is an enigma to Blackie, the voice of Clea Simon’s
dark new mystery. Combining elements of feline fantasy and
cozy whodunit, The Ninth Life introduces this unusual hero
and his companion, Care: two small creatures in a
nightmarish urban landscape, fighting for their lives, and
for the lives and memories of those they love.
