But that's exactly where he's been ever since a record-breaking drought hit Moose County. He's bedraggled. Beleaguered. And, following a rash of fires at local historic mine sites, deeply bewildered. Some blame the blazes on bad weather conditions, but Qwill's thinking arson. And when a mysterious explosion is followed by a blood-chilling murder, he starts seriously praying for snow--and answers. Good thing Koko can smell trouble a mile away...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun and the Cat Who series</b> <p/>"A master of mystery."--<i>People</i> <p/>"Upbeat prose and amiable characters."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"The mix of crime and cats [is] catnip to readers who like both."--<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i> <p/>"Braun keeps both paws on the side of charming."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The history of <b>Lilian Jackson Braun</b> is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels. Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim: <i>The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern</i>, and <i>The Cat Who Turned On and Off</i>. In 1966, the<i> New York Times</i> labeled Braun, "the new detective of the year." Then, for reasons unknown, the rising mystery author disappeared from the publishing scene. It wasn't until 1986 that Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of an original paperback, <i>The Cat Who Saw Red</i>. Within two years, Berkley released four new novels in paperback and reprinted the three mysteries from the sixties. Since then, G.P. Putnam's Sons has published seventeen additional novels in the Cat Who series. Braun passed away in 2011.
