A Cat in Fine Style — Lydia Adamson

MURDER AND THE GLAMOUR PUSS

Alice Nestleton is putting on the dog: posing in elegant duds for a New York boutique's new ad. But she's surprised to find Bobbin, tie clothes designer's once-beloved cat, exiled to the loft where the fashion shoot is taking place. Dressed-to-kill Alice stumbles across a corpse--the loft's wealthy owner, dead from an allergy to some gourmet pate. Naturally the police call the death accidental. Just as naturally Alice, with her nose for crime, smells a rat.

So when the victim's wife asks her to investigate, Alice calls on her boyfriend, Tony, to help unravel a thread of malice amid the secret affairs and shady transactions of the rag trade. But Alice's instincts tell her to cherchez le chat. What she finds may break her heart before she solves this top-of-the-line case involving a fat cat, clothes to die for, and murder by design.
