Felicity Pride, author of a series of popular cat mysteries, has just entered the vestibule of her apartment and discovered a very dead gentleman - looking like something the cat dragged in. And indeed, snuggled against the body is a gorgeous - and contented - gray Chartreux. With a cat and a corpse on her doorstep, Felicity's determined to solve the crime - just like her own fictional sleuth would do.Who was he? Who killed him? Why was he left there? And what publicity value could it all have? The answers could lie with Felicity's neighbor, an avid pet-hater; or with a highbrow professor who's collected every cat mystery ever written; or perhaps with Felicity's own number-one rival in the field, a bestselling recluse living in the shadows of a nom de mystere. Right now, she's just scratching the surface, but with a burly, kilt-wearing detective named Dave Valentine on her side, Felicity intends to identify both victim and killer - and sort out a case more puzzling than any she's ever plotted on paper.
