Fur flies and crime abounds in the twenty-one original stories commissioned by editors Gorman, Greenberg, and Segriff especially for this new anthology of feline mysteries. Veteran suspense writers like Carole Nelson Douglas, Doug Allyn, Jon L. Breen, Janet Dawson, and Bill Crider along with rising newcomers find plots afoot and cats apaw in a diverting variety of historical settings from the Blue Nile to Hudson Bay, among eighteenth-century explorers in the Northwest Territory and modern terrorists in the Middle East, in old New York (where you will meet the Death Cat of Hester Street) and in medieval Scotland. You will travel dangerous streets on the dark side of Beirut with the decidedly nine-lived Byron and in Oscar Wilde's London match wits with Roma, a very theatrical cat who would simply die, and kill, for herring.
