The Small Tawny Cat — Virginia Coffman

THE PURRING TERROR

Amanda Bishop's aunt had vanished. She had last been seen in the company of a sinister man who was probably a murderer. But the trail was cold -- and Amanda had no idea where to begin her desperate search…

Then the web of mystery became more intricate -- and more soul-chilling. Aunt Judith had left a will -- perhaps the strangest and most inexplicable will of all time. There were many people who might profit from Aunt Judith's death…many shadowy figures lurking in the background.

AND THERE WAS THE CAT

The cat that seemed, superficially, to be a cute, cuddly pet. But the cat that might have been the agent of many deaths, if not the actual killer itself. The cat that seemed to be everywhere Amanda turned, waiting for her, spying on her, purring gently even as it plotted her own death.
