Feline sleuths confront a threat close to home

In this Joe Grey mystery, an escaped convict’s grudge against Wilma turns personal when she vanishes after a shopping trip. Dulcie fears the worst and turns to Joe Grey, whose attention is already divided by two local murders. The investigation brings the cats’ private efforts alongside an unaware police force as clues begin to suggest that Wilma’s disappearance and the killings are connected. Set in a seaside village, the novel combines an amateur-detection setup with talking feline investigators and a danger that reaches into their close-knit human circle.

"Wilma's in danger!
You think I'm going to sit here polishing my claws?"
When she first hears the news that convict Cage Jones has escaped from prison, Dulcie's fur stands on end. She knows he's after her human companion, Wilma, whom he blames for his stint in jail. She tries to enlist the help of her friend Joe Grey, but the tomcat's got his paws full investigating two local murders. It's only when Wilma disappears after an afternoon shopping trip—and Cage is found lurking at her house—that Joe realizes the two crimes might be more connected than he thought. Paw in hand with the unsuspecting cops, the fantastic felines must untangle Cage's devilish agenda and snare a killer if they ever want to curl up with their friend again and bring peace to their seaside village.
