Cat Spitting Mad: A Joe Grey Mystery

"Cat Spitting Mad continues Shirley Rousseau Murphy's acclaimed, uniquely charming mystery series featuring a pair of precocious cats who have the amazing ability to read, speak, use the telephone, and solve crimes."I am a cat, Dulcie. A free spirit. A four-legged unencumbered citizen. I don't need to answer to any human."Joe Grey is mad enough to spit! No matter what Clyde, his irritating human "owner, " says, he's not keeping his paws off this case, not when Max Harper's life and the future of law enforcement in the town of Molena Point are at stake.While Joe has certainly delighted in playing countless smug tricks on Max Harper, Molena Point's head lawman, he's never had anything but respect for the dedicated cop. In fact, Harper is the one human who makes Joe and Dulcie's sleuthing worth the trouble. Many of the culprits they've tracked down ended up behind bars thanks to Harper's tenacity and shrewdness.Now Harper is in trouble. Big trouble. Two of his horseback-riding companions have been viciously murdered on the trail, and Dillon, the spunky young girl who accompanied them, is missing. All the evidence points to Harper, and he doesn't have a single witness -- at least not a human one! -- to vouch for his alibi.Joe knows Harper is innocent and is hissing to prove it -- and to rescue his young friend Dillon before it is too late. Finding answers, however, promises to be the biggest challenge Joe and Dulcie have ever faced.Murphy, Shirley Rousseau is the author of 'Cat Spitting Mad: A Joe Grey Mystery' with ISBN 9780061050985 and ISBN 0061050989.
