First Putnam hardcover edition of the book that kicked off Lilian Braun's "The Cat Who . . ." series. The novel was originally published in 1966. Big-city reporter Jim Qwilleran is back on the beat, but he's not investigating serious crimes any more. Beggars can't be choosers, and the only job he can get after a double-whammy of divorce and alcoholism, is an assignment as a feature-writer on the Daily Fluxion. All is not lost, however: the features editor turns out to be Qwill's old friend Arch Riker. And an article on the local arts scene isn't the fluff piece Qwill feared. His investigative powers are soon called into play when one of the artists is found murdered. 216 pp. 8 3/4" X 5 3/4". Jacket design and illustration by Walter Harper.
