What the Cat Dragged In — Gilbert Morris

Introducing...

Jacques the Ripper: A tough -- minded "Savannah" breed of feline -- fierce, enormous, and with a mind of his own.

And...

Cleo: A multi -- colored "Rag Doll" with long silky hair. Cleo is as affectionate as Jacques is tough and her favorite mode of transportation is draped over the shoulder of the nearest human.

In their debut mystery, Jacques and Cleo and their owner...or rather the human they own, Kate Forrest, and her son, Jeremy, move to a beautiful beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama, left to Kate by a distant relative.

The catch is that another distant relative, wanna -- be novelist (and bonafide cat -- hater) Jake Novak, has also inherited an interest in the house. Undeterred, Kate and Jeremy move in the downstairs quarters and Jake takes the separate apartment upstairs.

Then, when a murder occurs...everyone is stumped--but feline sleuths Jacques and Cleo come to the rescue and reveal the identity of the killer.
