Cat's Play

A clairvoyant cat and a covert cult place Lynley and her feline ward in the path of danger.

Eccentric recluse Roderick Payne has bequeathed his vast estate to little Friends of Felines cat shelter, but the gift comes with a catch. The first stipulation, to care for the dead man's cat Winnie, is simple for Lynley Cannon, cat shelter volunteer and self-appointed cat lady. The second, however, proves more difficult.

Friends of Felines must "find Payne's killer," but since he died of natural causes, that will be a trick.

Lynley, charged with unraveling the enigma, discovers an unlikely ally in Winnie. The cat's clairvoyant insights guide Lynley toward the truth, but will her findings threaten both their lives?
