William Hawkins, a crusty criminal lawyer, refuses to let go of his humanity and learn to “cat” after his murder and reincarnation as a feral kitten. His human body is missing, and he becomes the prime suspect in his own murder. As a feral kitten, he must connect three murders to fast cars, an open pit mine, meth dealers, coyotes, and the death of a large feral clowder. Can humans and animals really work together to clean up Crow River and bring down the kingpin that controls the local crime and drug scene?
