St. John's Bestiary — William Babula

St. John should never have taken the case, but he just couldn't help it. Professor Krift's story of his eight stolen cats strikes a sympathetic chord. But the detective is caught catnapping as the professor's daughter is kidnapped, his new love Ollie is killed, the the case drags him through every racket going: money laundering, dope pushing, porno, and prostitution.
