The Cat, the Professor and the Poison — Leann Sweeney

A killer game of cat and mouse...

Between her kitty quilt-making business and her three beloved cats -- Merlot, Chablis, and Syrah -- Jillian Hart has her hands full. That doesn't stop her from wanting to solve the mystery of the milk cow that's gone missing from her friend's farm. But imagine her surprise when a stolen cow leads to the discovery of fifty stray cats and one dead body -- a victim of cold-blooded murder.

Now Jillian has an even bigger investigation on her hands. Good thing her kitties are always ready to help. With their curiosity, smarts, and talent for sniffing out rats, the three felines are bound to help Jillian and her best friend, Deputy Candace Carson, stop a killer -- someone evil enough to give humans a bad name.
