Scottish barrister Rex Graves lets the proverbial cat out of the bag in this most unconventional case by investigating the murder, not of a person, but of a pet! And not just any pet. This is Archie, the cat belonging to famous author Patricia Forsyth and the inspiration for her popular children's stories. Who in the idyllic village of Woodley could have curtailed the life of her feline muse and beloved companion of eighteen years? Events turn downright nasty as neighbour turns on neighbour, family members feud, and Patricia's closest collaborators fall under bitter suspicion.
