This holiday season, instead of singing carols, swatting tinsel, and climbing up Christmas trees, talking tomcat Joe Grey, his girlfriend Dulcie, and their tortoiseshell coated friend Kit must solve their most heartwrenching case yet.
Kit has found a man shot dead beneath a Christmas tree, and the only witness is the traumatized little girl found clinging to his body. With no clues to follow, the police are at a dead end. But not Joe Grey and friends . . . In addition to chasing down a Christmas killer, Joe, Dulcie, and Kit will have their paws full with a series of break-ins, robberies, and parties. And as the clever cats soon discover, in a small village like Moreno Point everything is connected . . .
