Arthur Pendelton agreed to judge a cat show.
He did not agree to solve a murder.
But when a competitor collapses during the prestigious Glass City Feline Invitational, the elegant world of competitive cat showing turns into chaos faster than a Persian in a bubble bath.
Now Arthur must navigate jealous breeders, fierce rivalries, and one particularly suspicious grooming scandal-all while trying to maintain proper judging etiquette.
Fortunately, he has help.
Brenda Bleakly knows everyone and everything at the show.
And Dinky, a scruffy rescue cat with terrible timing, may have just become the most unlikely hero in feline history.
As the clues pile up and tempers flare, Arthur discovers that behind every perfect show cat lies a human capable of almost anything.
Including murder.
Welcome to the world of competitive cat shows...
Where the claws aren't just on the cats.
