When a wealthy woman offers actress-turned-sleuth Alice Nestleton $2,500 to watch over her precious cat, it's an offer she can't refuse. The woman arrives only to be shot by her chauffeur on Alice's doorstep. When Alice opens the cat carrier to check on the now orphaned feline, all she finds is a toy cat on wheels. The police believe that Alice is hiding the identity of a third person inside the killer's car but she truly did not see the person. Teaming up with the dead woman's hard-bitten elderly neighbor and a few friends, Alice delves into the victim's past and finds that it eerily intersects with her own. Still, she can't understand why anyone would pay so much money for a toy cat.
"Adamson keeps her series fresh with new insights into Alice...and the addition of Sam, a hard boiled fluffy character." (amazon.com)
