Publisher Description
Music-journalist Theda Krakow is caught up in investigating the rise of a dangerous new designer drug that threatens the musicians and fans of her beloved club scene. But she puts her story on hold when she learns of an animal-rights activist who was killed in a hit-and-run accident while trying to rescue feral cats from a ferocious winter storm.
Theda feels moved to help out with the effort. But as she and her buddy, Violet, race to save the half-wild felines from the freezing New England winter, they uncover simmering tensions among the extremist organization that make the activist’s death seem more than accidental. Theda tries to hang onto her journalistic objectivity, but when the threats become more personal and her beloved cat, Musetta, goes missing, she will risk her reputation, her career, and possibly her life to solve these mysteries once and for all.

"Though I've loved all of the Theda Krakow mysteries, this continues to be one of my favorites. Somehow it all comes together for me here: the music, the mystery, the romance on a rough sea. No one does kitty noir like Clea Simon! "
— Linda (5 out of 5 stars)

" Another fantastic page-turning mystery! "
— Alissa, 11/13/2013 -
" Main character still too focused on overweight descriptions, IMHO, in this 3rd book. Adequate story, but I find that even though I'm a big fan of kitties, having a couple myself, the main character's obsession with her cat over her boyfriend is borderline crazy cat lady. "

" Great mystery, page turner and written with a different slant. "
— Carol, 2/21/2013 -
" If you aren't a cat person you may not like this book as the main character refers to her cat quite a bit. Action takes place in Cambridge, outside Boston. Main character is a free lance writer covering night clubs. New book. Learned quite a bit about animal rights groups. "
— Carol, 2/12/2013 -
" I like a good mystery. This book fits that description. I picked it up without having read anything else by the author, so was not familiar with the detective and their "history". I liked it and probably would read more by the same author, but have not done so yet. "

" Reviewer of bands in Cambridge. "
— Janet, 1/22/2013 -
" I'd say this book was just ok (probably would give it 2.5 stars if I could). It might be because I listen to it on audio book though and wasn't pay attention at parts so I found it a bit confusing with all the story lines. The characters I felt were just ok too. "
— Andrea, 4/12/2012 -
" Very much enjoying this series, which I think gets more sure-footed with each entry. "
— Sara, 9/23/2011 -
" First half pretty slow, nearly stopped reading, but last half was very fast-paced and I couldn't put it down so definitely worth reading. "
— Lynn, 6/27/2011 -
" If you like it when people go on and on about their pets ad nauseum, then this is the story for you.<br/><br/>There were many things I liked about this book, such as the setting, the protagonist's line of work and her independence, but the extent of the CAT! theme was a little too much for me. "
