Publisher Description
Feline P.I. Joe Grey and friends must catch a holiday killer in this 13th delightful and sophisticated mystery in the popular, award-winning series
This holiday season, instead of singing carols, swatting tinsel, and climbing up Christmas trees, talking tomcat Joe Grey, his girlfriend Dulcie, and their tortoiseshell coated friend Kit must solve their most heartwrenching case yet.
Kit has found a man shot dead beneath a Christmas tree, and the only witness is the traumatized little girl found clinging to his body. With no clues to follow, the police are at a dead end. But not Joe Grey and friends . . . In addition to chasing down a Christmas killer, Joe, Dulcie, and Kit will have their paws full with a series of break-ins, robberies, and parties. And as the clever cats soon discover, in a small village like Moreno Point everything is connected . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Just in time for Christmas, Murphy brings in feline sleuth Joe Grey to celebrate the season and try to rescue a frightened child in her 14th mystery set in Molena Point, Calif. (after Cat Pay the Devil). Joe's tortoiseshell pal, Kit, discovers and reports a child clinging to a dead man under a Christmas tree. By the time the police arrive the body has disappeared (disposed of by the killer), as has the little girl (hidden by the cats). As Joe and company try to solve the mystery and keep the girl safe, intruders perhaps linked to each other and the murder break into Kit's house and a noted artist's studio at the Home for Orphan Children. Murphy's fans will be happy to curl up under a blanket as they savor the finely crafted suspense set against the backdrop of holiday feasts and festivities and the crashing waves of the Pacific.
