THERE'S MANY A CAT-- THAT'S THE SURE DEATH OF A MOUSE...

In the kingdom of Rossacotta, the claws of treachery and murder reach far into the castle itself. But it's all in a day's work for the child-King's bodyguard. Nimnestl swings a lethal sword to protect her royal charge--and woe to the would-be assassins who get in her way...

Now the corpse of a nobleman has been discovered in the palace. A small intruder has penetrated the castle walls. And there are so many dangerous cats on the prowl that a mouse will surely die ...

Unless that mouse has a bodyguard.
