In the fourth installment of the Edgar and Agatha Award-nominated series, Sam (the cat detective) spends Memorial Day weekend in the village of East Ham where he finds himself paw deep in mystery and adventure. Any resemblance to "The Great Gatsby" is purely intentional. For ages 9 to adult.

Justice is Sam's business, his only business. It's not a pretty job or an easy one, but it's a job Sam can do. Then "She" walks into his office, purrs out her unhappy story, and begs him to take her case. Sam doesn't play the sap for anyone, but she's pretty, scared, and needs his help. Or does she?

His first adventure sold more than 240,000 copies and was nominated for the Mystery Writers Edgar Award. Now Sam is back in another hairy tale. When Sandy, the star of a long-running series of cat food commercials, mysteriously disappears, Sam's little sister puts him on the case. Sam finds he's bitten off more than he chew.

The Edgar-Award nominated Sam The Cat Detective returns in his third adventure.For ages 9 to adult.
