The Cat Who Went Underground
Jim Qwilleran packs up his old kit bag and his two Siamese
cats, Koko and Yum Yum, for a sun-and-fun summer at his log cabin in Moose Country. Their
vacation starts off ominously with the disappearance of a handyman hired to patch up
Qwilleran's cabin. But the felines really start throwing catfits when they come across a
dead body or two…
A serial killer may be right under Koko's nose, and now this
ingenious Siamese must dig deeper to clear poor Qwilleran of suspicion - and dig up the
buried motive for a catastrophic crime.
Qwilleran - a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime.
Koko - a Siamese cat with extraordinary talents and a flair for mystery. Yum Yum - a
loveable Siamese adored by her two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most
delightful team in detective fiction!

The Cat Who Tailed A Thief
A spate of petty thefts threatens the holiday spirit in
Pickax. First it's just a pair of sunglasses and gloves that disappear - but then the
entire charity collection of the Indian Village Bridge Club is found missing...And
unfortunately the worst is yet to come...
Ironically, the small items begin to disappear when banker
Willard Carmichael moves to Pickax. Willard has come accompanied by his flashy young wife,
Danielle, and plans to restore a few Victorian houses. But when he is found murdered in an
apparent mugging, his wife’s cousin appears a bit too eager to pick up where Willard
had to tragically leave off.
After a local resident is accused of stealing the bridge club
money, Qwilleran has a moustache-twitching feeling that some surreptitious investigating
is needed. Aided by Koko and Yum Yum's feline intuition, Qwill must bring the right people
to justice before the small town of Pickax is destroyed by a Big-time crime wave.
Qwilleran - a prize-winning reporter with a nose for crime.
Koko - a Siamese cat with extraordinary talents and a flair for mystery. Yum Yum - a
loveable Siamese adored by her two male companions. The most unlikely, most unusual, most
delightful team in detective fiction!
