Cats Can't Shoot — Clea Simon

Fear, shock, stress -- animal behaviorist and pet psychic Pru Marlowe isn't surprised pretty Persian cat Fluffy is showing all these signs. The police think Fluffy accidentally shot her wealthy owner, Donal Franklin, by pawing an antique gun's trigger. But Pru can't explain why Fluffy is so traumatized she can't reveal what actually happened. Or why Franklin's loudly grieving wife is so desperate to sell the cat -- even as his mistress is suddenly fighting to claim Fluffy.

And when Franklin's gun-collecting best friend dies in a suspicious accident, Pru knows the only way to clear Fluffy -- and help her -- is to chase the secrets her human suspects are hiding. But untangling this lethal cat's cradle of insidious lies, naked greed and false faces means tracking down a killer hiding in plain sight…one out to make Pru the ultimate prey.
