The Cat Who Brought Down the House

Více o knize

Dear Reader, Twenty-five years ago, Jim Qwilleran entered my life—huffing into his large moustache, spelling his name oddly, and sipping black coffee at the Press Club bar. Tall yet world-weary, he owned only two suitcases and was a down-and-out crime reporter willing to take any minor beat to return to newspapering. Then, unexpectedly, he became the richest man in northeast central United States. The newfound wealth made him uneasy until he recalled the saying: "Money is like muck; it doesn't do any good unless you spread it around." He established a foundation to share his fortune. Now, Qwilleran resides in a small town, 400 miles from everywhere, writing for a local newspaper. He stands tall and straight, dates a librarian, and shares his home with two adopted cats, one of whom is quite remarkable. Despite his fame, Qwilleran's charm lies in his humor, individuality, and his knack for listening, which draws confidences from people of all ages. He harbors a secret—his male cat, Koko, possesses an uncanny intuition for right and wrong, often identifying wrongdoers. Together, they have solved several cases. This installment marks the twenty-fifth in the Qwilleran saga. Shall we aim for twenty-six? Lilian
