α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
Doug Perkins doesnβt dislike catsβhe just isnβt especially interested in them. But the struggling young London public relations firm Perkins and Tate canβt afford to be choosy about the jobs they take. So when Doug is asked to do the PR for a glorified feline extravaganza called βCats through the Ages,β he doesnβt hesitate. But it isnβt long before he wishes he had hesitated.
There are some very valuable cats on exhibitβeven a few feline celebrities. Then the robbery of a gold statue of Dick Whittingtonβs cat sets nerves on edge. The theft is not exactly a PR manβs dream, but this disaster pales in comparison to the gruesome murder that follows. Someone has knocked unconscious the showβs organizer, the universally despised Rose Chesne-Malverne, and pushed her into a cage with a pair of feral tigers fancifully named Pyramus and Thisbeβwith predictably fatal results. Now itβs up to Doug to find an elusive killer who appears to have nine lives of his own.
