A clever and heartwarming cozy mystery where a high-profile visitor, a string of strange events, and two brilliant Siamese cats lead to one of Moose County’s most puzzling crimes.
When a wealthy and flamboyant jewelry dealer arrives in Pickax City for the annual Moose County
Centennial celebration, columnist Jim Qwilleran senses trouble — especially when the man’s priceless gems and glittering parties draw both admiration and envy. But when the dealer is found dead and his jewels vanish, the town’s centennial festivities turn somber. With his sharp instincts — and Koko’s uncanny knack for uncovering the truth — Qwill must solve a mystery that proves even the richest treasures can hide deadly secrets.
In The Cat Who Robbed a Bank, Lilian Jackson Braun delivers another charming entry in her beloved Cat Who… series, filled with the gentle humor, quirky characters, and feline intuition that fans adore. When the charismatic Mr. Delacamp sweeps into town with his glittering collection of jewels, Qwill can’t help but notice that his charm hides something suspicious.
After the man’s sudden death, Pickax’s small-town gossip turns into shock — and it’s up to Qwill, with help from his Siamese sleuths Koko and Yum Yum, to uncover the truth. Between Koko’s strange fascination with shiny objects and the town’s web of secrets, Qwill realizes this is more than a simple robbery — it’s a case of greed, revenge, and pride.
