Readers of Cat Crimes and Cat Crimes II have been caterwauling for more, and the news that editors Martin H. Greenberg and Ed Gorman have been out on the prowl for these eighteen original stories of mystery and mayhem is sure to leave them purring. So curl up with Nancy Pickard's "Fat Cat," in which the mysterious disappearance of fifteen pampered felines leads investigators to a posh health spa, or with John Lutz's "Kitty", in which a honeymooner's disturbing dreams are just a preview of his kittenish bride's strange powers. The globe-trotting narrator of Mark Richard Zubro's "Next Year," Kankakee discovers the secret of the pampered cats in a Tierro del Fuego convent, while in Matthew J. Costello's "Where's Mittens?" a Scarsdale pet therapist meets disaster in a calico cat. Or perhaps you would like to hear a homicidal kitty's point of view, as in DeLoris Stanton Forbes' "Dumb Animals." Still other authors, including Barbara Collins and Max Allan Collins, Joe L. Hensley, William De Andrea and Wendi Lee, give us stories of cat burglars, cat counselors, killer cats and cats who cannot be killed. All in all, a catophile's bonanza.
