Creeping on all fours around the White House lawn and consorting with deal-makers near the corridors of power, cats are making their presence known in the eerie alleyways of our nation's capital. Inside the pages of this anthology are nineteen stories that feature cats getting down to the people's business. In "The President's Cat Is Missing," a simple catnapping scheme proves much too successful for its own good; in "That Damn Cat," a celebrity feline knows only one incredible trick, but it works like a charm every time; and in "Cat and Canary," political protest is taken to a new low. Mystery fans and cat lovers alike will pounce on these hairy tales written by today's masters of suspense.
