Murder at the Cat Show

A "suspenseful" mystery starring two publicists—and a whole lot of cats—from the Agatha Award–winning author of Cover-Up Story ( Publishers Weekly).   British public relations firm Perkins & Tate are used to dealing with show business—but this time, the celebrities are cats. The company's been hired to publicize a major event for cat fanciers, but even if the felines in attendance are dignified, elegant, and well trained, the same doesn't always hold true for the humans . . .   After a valuable cat statue disappears—and the exhibit's much-disliked organizer is found dead in a cage with two Sumatran tigers—Douglas Perkins and Gerry Tate must sniff out a two-legged beast.   "The appearance of this second-in-a-series from England will gladden Babson's numerous aficionados in America. . . . Suspenseful action . . . While many convincingly real cats compete for the reader's affections, even Doug, expressing indifference to feline charms, falls helplessly in love with a wistful kitten." — Publishers Weekly   "For the marvels of metamorphosis, stick to Kafka. For the joy of cats, consider Ms. Babson." — The New York Times Book Review on Nine Lives to Murder
