The Sleeping Cat is a thrilling story in Isabel Ostrander's best manner. Olive Mercer invites her old schoolmate, the beautiful Gloria Warrender, to her home. A murder in the garden in open daylight, and a missing ring with links to a curious wartime past, involves Special Deputy Commissioner Dan Rider of the New York Police in the investigation of several suspects. This is a well-woven mystery by an early author who helped set the foundation for the American side of Golden-Age Detective Fiction. The Sleeping Cat was published posthumously in 1926.
