Description: Always a loner, Charlie Getz never expected to fall in love with anyone, let alone Molena Point, California's chief of police. So her wedding on a perfect, sunny day is all the more joyous, especially when two of the honored guests are her four-footed pals, feline detectives Joe Grey and Dulcie.
But there are two unexpected visitors, as well. A young boy and an old man hidden in the shadows prepare to bomb the soon-to-be-filled church. The lone witness, a small, tattercoat kit crouched beneath the oak branches, warns Joe's owner Clyde, then with claws and teeth she stops the would-be murderers. The shock of the near disaster that might have killed half the village is only the beginning. The next morning Charlie's good friend, building contractor Ryan Flannery, awakes to find her estranged, philandering husband dead in her garage; and Ryan's gun is missing.
With suspicion falling squarely on Ryan's shoulders, Joe Grey, Dulcie and Kit use their unique feline skills at break-and-enter to prove Ryan's innocence. Prowling her apartment they watch a stranger tamper with her business account books. His sinister push into her life is as unexpected as the arrival, on the morning of the murder, of a handsome purebred hunting dog, a homeless stray who seems determined to move in with Ryan. Whatever hateful force has descended on the small seaside village, the three cats are soon paw-deep in a tangle of jealousy, greed, and carefully planned retribution. They work the case as only cats can, passing information anonymously to the cops, making a heroic feline effort to nail the killer and catch the wedding bomber, and hoping to see the silver hunting dog settle safely into his new home.
