A locked room. A dead man. The cat is the only witness, and he isn't talking.
Everyone loves a locked room mystery. From Agatha Christie to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Edgar Allen Poe, the intelligent mind rejoices at the thought of the impossible crime. Not only "who done it?" but "how the heck did they pull it off?" It may involve magic, the paranormal, science, or merely a clever killer, but no matter how you look at it, you think, "What fun!" Right?
Not necessarily.
Not when it's real life.
Not when you're the person in the locked room.
A series of locked-room murders have been committed in sleepy little Long Beach, Washington, and as for the killers, Sheriff Matt Boulder has no idea who or why. The sheriff needs help, but when he calls in his friend, animal cop Denny Paris, he gets cat shelter volunteer and amateur sleuth Lynley Cannon too.
The officers investigate one line of inquiry while Lynley takes a different approach. Her only clues are a cat found at the murder scene and a rich man's missing wife, but thread by thread, she unravels a scheme more insidious than fiction.
Native Oregonian Mollie Hunt has always had an affinity for cats, so it was a short step for her to become a cat writer. Mollie is the author of the Crazy Cat Lady Cozy Mystery Series featuring Portland native Lynley Cannon, a sixty-something cat shelter volunteer who finds more trouble than a cat in catnip. She has also published a non-cat mystery, Placid River Runs Deep, which delves into murder, obsession, and the challenge of chronic illness in bucolic southwest Washington. Two of her short cat stories have been published in anthologies, one of which, The Dream Spinner, won the prestigious CWA Muse Medallion this year.
Mollie is a member of the Oregon Writers' Colony, Sisters in Crime, Willamette Writers, the Cat Writers' Association, and the Northwest Independent Writers Association. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and a varying number of cats. Like Lynley, she is a grateful shelter volunteer.
