Panthers Play for Keeps : A Pru Marlowe Pet Mystery

Praise for previous Pru Marlowe Pet Noirs... "Pru Marlowe can hear what animals are thinking? The wonderfully talented Clea Simon makes it a delight to believe it. Clever, original and completely captivating!" -Agatha award winning author Hank Phillippi Ryan of Parrots Prove Deadly While walking Spot, a service dog in training, Pru Marlowe is led to the mangled body of a young woman. Before she knows it, Pru's investigating the apparent wild cat attack-but there haven't been pumas in the area for years. Wallis, Pru's tabby, is sure there's a killer cat at large, but Spot suggests that the violent death was something more than an animal attack. With panther panic growing, Pru may have to put aside her own issues-and her own ideas of domesticity-to solve a savage mystery. Clea Simon is the author of the Theda Krakow and Dulcie Schwartz mysteries, as well as several nonfiction books. A former journalist, Simon lives in Massachusetts with her husband and their cat. www.cleasimon.com
