An anthology of stories edited by

 
 
When Law Meets Paw... The result is this delightful anthology of seventeen courtroom tales by top-notch mystery writers. Cats and mysteries go hand-in-hand, no doubt. After all, what other animal is as mysterious as the common - yet never ordinary - house cat? What lurks behind that smug expression? What hidden secrets belie that indifferent stare? Always dignified, cats are quick to deal out their own justice with a claw or bite, and so it is only natural we find them in a variety of roles in these feline mysteries. Cats take the stand in their own defence to pounce on criminals, provide evidence, and turn the legal system on its collective ear - all in the name of justice. From a private eye who goes to bat for a cat's inheritance to a common mouser who turns out to be quite a bit more during a high-profile murder trial, these tales of crime are as crafty and cunning as kitties themselves - and just as entertaining! Stories in this clever anthology include: "The Witness Cat" by Parnell Hall * "Justice Knows No Paws" by Jon L. Breen * "It's in the Bag" by Bill Crider * "Animal Sounds" by Dulcy Brainard * "Blue Eyes" by Janet Dawson * "Cat, the Jury" by Catherine Dain * "The Memory Pool" by Tracy Knight * "The Lawlessness West of the Pecos" by Jan Grape * "Statute of Imitations" by Morris Hershman * "Catnip" by Dick Lochte * "Hoskin's Cat" by Shirley Rousseau Murphy * "Missing the Cat" by Mat Coward * "Prints" by Ann Barrett * "Mr. Biggles for the Defense" by Matthew Costello * "Family Ties" by Richard Chizmar and Barry Hoffman * "For the Benefit of Bootsy" by Jeremiah Healy * "In the Lowlands" by Gary A. Braunbeck
