"Good news for fans of the best-

selling Cat who... mysteries--

fictional columnist James

Qwilleran has finally finished his

book showcasing the colorful

stories related to him by residents of Moose County, that

famous region four hundred

miles north of everywhere."

Living in the peaceful city of

Pickax may be restful, but it

certainly isn't dull. At least not

for one of the most eligible

bachelors in town, veteran

newspaperman Jim Qwilleran. Having inherited millions,

Qwilleran and his two feline

companions, Koko and Yum

Yum, are preparing to settle

down into a life of purrfect

luxury. That is, until the son of a rich banker and his wife are

found murdered.

To the police, it looks like a

robbery gone awry. But then

Koko develops an odd appetite

for glue. Qwilleran doesn't spot the clue until his beloved

Siamese's taste for paste tangles

them in a web of love, danger,

and their stickiest case yet!

Jim Qwilleran packs up his old

kit bag and his two Siamese

cats, Koko and Yum Yum, for a

sun-and-fun summer at his log

cabin in Moose County. Their

vacation starts out ominously with the disappearance of a

handyman hired to patch up

Qwilleran's cabin. But the felines

really start throwing catfits

when they come across a dead

body or two...A serial killer may be right under Koko's nose, and

now this ingenious Siamese

must dig deeper to clear poor

Qwilleran of suspicion--and dig

up the motive for a catastrophic

crime.

An alternative cover edition for

this ISBN can be found here. Jim Qwilleran and his cats Koko

and Yum Yum try to solve a

haunting mystery in a historic

farmhouse in this New York

Times bestseller in the Cat Who

series. When Mrs. Cobb heard unearthly

noises in the antique-filled

farmhouse, she called Jim

Qwilleran for help. But he was

too late. It looked as if his kindly

ex-housekeeper had been frightened to death—but by

whom? Or what? Now

Qwilleran’s moved into the

historic farmhouse with his two

cat companions—and Koko the

Siamese is spooked. Is it a figment of feline imagination—

or the clue to a murder in Moose

County? And does Qwilleran

have a ghost of a chance of

solving this haunting mystery?

The colorful Casablanca

apartment building is in danger

of demolition--but not if Jim

Qwilleran can help it. He's determined to restore the

building to its original grandeur.

So he moves in with Koko and

Yum Yum--and discovers that

the Casablanca is steeped in

history...and mystery. In Qwill's very apartment, a glamorous art

dealer met an untimely fate,

and the veteran journalist and

his crime-solving cats are about

to reach new heights in

detection as the evidence builds up...and the Casablanca

threatens to crumble down

around them!

All the world's a stage--and now

Jim Qwilleran's apple orchard

has become the stage for a real-

life murder scene. The much-

disliked director of the Pickax

Theatre Club's Shakespeare production, Hilary VanBrook,

has been found dead after the

closing-night cast party. With

the help of his super-smart

Siamese, Qwill must cast a

suspicious eye on all the players--especially the ones

pussyfooting around behind the

scenes...

On vacation in the Big Potato Mountains, Qwilleran stumbles

into a mystery involving the

murder of J. J. Hawkinfield, the

developer who was pushed off

a mountain years before after

announcing his plans to develop the region.

Qwill's on his way to Scotland -

and on his way to solving

another purr-plexing mystery.

But this time Koko's nowhere

the scene of the crime. He and

Yum Yum are back in Pickax being coddled by a

catsitter...but Koko won't sit still

once Qwill's traveling party

returns--minus one member.

He's behaving oddly, and Qwill

knows what that means: Koko may have been miles away

from the murder scene, but he's

just a whisker away from

cracking the case!

Qwill’s moved into the old Gage

mansion—and the cats are on a

treasure hunt. The house’s fifty

closets are crammed with

several generations of junk, and

while Qwill investigates two recent deaths—those of the

mansion’s former occupant and

a local potato farmer—Koko

investigates the contents of the

closets. Qwill and the cats wind

up unearthing some surprising skeletons—and bringing long-

buried secrets to light...

Qwilleran and the cats are

visiting an island known by

many names. Qwill has always

called it Breakfast Island, but to

the taciturn natives, it's

Providence Island. To the rich summer residents it's Grand

Island--and to the developers

and tourists who are turning

this once-peaceful place upside

down, it's Pear Island. But when

some odd "accidents" occur, including a fatal boat explosion,

Qwill suspects sabotage and

sets out to investigate--because

murder by any other name is

just as deadly...

Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese

sleuths, Koko and Yum Yum,

investigate the disappearance

of a wealthy railroad buff--and

alleged multimillion-dollar

embezzler--a case that becomes complicated by red herrings, a

tragic train wreck, and murder

at a railroad tavern.

The Great Food Explo is

scheduled to open in Pickax

with a bang, introducing new

restaurants, country inns and

food speciality shops.

Unfortunately the 'bang' takes the form of a bomb which

wrecks a hotel, killing the

housekeeper and causing

extensive damage. Enter Qwill

and his Siamese cats, Koko and

Yum Yum, whose instincts tell them that the murderous bomb

was meant as something

stronger than a warning to

someone. While Qwill searches for clues, a

possible witness to the

bombing surfaces - who is shot

to death before he can be

questioned. But Qwill, Koko and

Yum Yum are on the case...

In this latest installment,

prizewinning reporter Jim

Qwilleran—along with his

lovable Siamese cats Koko and

Yum Yum—solve a mystery that

arises when a local banker dies under suspicious circumstances,

leaving behind a flashy young

widow, an unfinished house-

restoration project, and a trail of

clues as elusive as a cat burglar

in the night . . .

In this delightful new novel

featuring Jim Qwilleran and his

lovable cats, Koko and Yum

Yum, the rites of spring are

celebrated with the fine art of

birdcalling....and a fateful act of murder. It seems that this

spring, a cat's fancy may turn to

crime-solving...

UFOs in Mooseville? Rumors

abound that a missing

backpacker has been abducted,

and it looks like Jim Qwilleran's

sedate summer may be

interrupted by an investigation -- with the help of his own little

aliens, Koko and Yum Yum. And

when the backpacker's body

turns up -- and transplanted

Floridian Owen Bowen is found

dead soon afterward -- the search for intelligent life turns

into a close encounter with a

killer...

The way Jim Qwilleran sees it,

there's nothing worse than

being left high and dry. But

that's exactly where he's been

ever since a record-breaking

drought hit Moose County. He's bedraggled. Beleaguered. And,

following a rash of fires at local

historic mine sites, deeply

bewildered. Some blame the

blazes on bad weather

conditions, but Qwill's thinking arson. And when a mysterious

explosion is followed by a

blood-chilling murder, he starts

seriously praying for snow--and

answers. Good thing Koko can

smell trouble a mile away...

Pickax's favorite columnist,

James Qwilleran, is enjoying a

brief holiday in the nearby town

of Black Creek - but his two

Siamese, who prefer the

spaciousness of their home, beg to differ. The blissful tranquility

is soon interrupted by the

discovery of a body floating

down the creek. And a possible

motive for his murder is

suggested when several gold nuggets are found in his

possession. Might he have been

illegally prospecting for gold? If

so, it seems he wasn't the only

one in search of an easy fortune.

And his competitor is far more determined to strike it rich...

The good people of Moose

County are in a fever of

excitement. It's almost time for

the gala groundbreaking of the

Pickax bookstore - and the

town of Brrr is preparing for its bicentennial celebration. All the

festivities, however; are spoiled

by the discovery of a man's

body on James Qwilleran's

property. Could it be the work

of a killer who used the same MO in northern Michigan? To

solve the case, Qwill and his

feline pals, Koko and Yum Yum,

will have to prick up their ears

and determine who committed

this fowl deed.
