The Cat Came Back (The 9 Lives Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1‪)‬

Stormy the Cat, rescued by journalist Quinn Armstrong, is not what he seems.

Young mother Christy Jamieson has just learned that her husband, Frank, embezzled his trust fund, sold their Vancouver mansion, and ran off with a socialite. Worse, Frank's trustees are telling Christy to let them handle it—but they aren't doing anything, and Frank's enemies are coming after her and her daughter.

Desperate to find Frank and fend off his enemies, Christy asks Quinn for help. His price: the dirt on Frank. But the closer Christy and Quinn get to the dangerous truth, the more convinced they become that the only one who knows where Frank is… is Stormy the Cat.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Louise Clark has been the adopted mom of a number of cats with big personalities. The feline who inspired Stormy, the cat in the 9 Lives books, dominated her household for twenty loving years. During that time he created a family pecking order that left Louise on top and her youngest child on the bottom (just below the guinea pig), regularly tried to eat all his sister's food (he was a very large cat), and discovered the joys of travel during a cross-continent road trip.

The 9 Lives Cozy Mystery Series—as well as the standalone mystery A Recipe for Trouble—are all set in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia.
