Cat Nap — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Triwell doesn't adopt strays. He feels like a stray himself, a man who has lost everything even though he has a house and an antiquarian bookstore in Seavy Village on the Oregon Coast.

But the cat adopted him. And she proves a mystery. A mystery who lives with him. A mystery he will solve one summer in a surprising -- and deadly -- way.

“Rusch is a great storyteller.”
