The Cat Who Turned On and Off
Book 3 of the The Cat Who series
Reporter Jim Qwilleran accepts an assignment to find a compelling story in Junktown, a neglected district crowded with antique dealers and eccentric collectors. A respected dealer's fatal fall is dismissed as an accident, but inconsistencies persuade Qwilleran that the neighborhood is concealing more than old furniture. Koko's fascination with the shops and their objects repeatedly directs attention toward clues the humans overlook. Vintage and atmospheric, this early series mystery suits readers who enjoy antiques, urban neighborhoods, eccentric merchants, and a clever Siamese cat turning a feature assignment into an investigation.
