Book Description
Dear Reader
Twenty-five years ago, Jim Qwilleran walked into my life...huffing into his
large moustache, spelling his name oddly, drinking black coffee at the Press
Club bar. He was tall but seemed world-weary. His entire earthly possessions
fit into two suitcases. He was a down-and-out crime reporter willing to cover
any minor beat if it could get him back into newspapering.
Then, almost overnight, peculiar circumstances made him the richest man in
northeast central United States.
All that money made Qwilleran nervous, until he remembered the old saying:
"Money is like muck; it doesn't do any good unless you spread it around." He
established a foundation to spread it around.
Now Qwilleran lives in a small town, 400 miles north of everywhere, and writes
for a small newspaper. He stands tall and straight. He dates a librarian. His
roommates are two abandoned cats that he adopted along the way, one of them
quite remarkable.
Despite his fame and fortune, Qwilleran's popularity really stems from his
sense of humor, individuality, and willingness to listen. He has a writer's
talent for sympathetic listening-half compassion, half curiosity-and it draws
confidences from men and women, old and young.
Qwilleran has a secret of his own that he shares with no one--or hardly anyone.
His male cat, Koko, has an uncanny intuition that can tell right from wrong
and frequently sniffs out the evil-doer. Together, he and Qwilleran have solved
several cases. The Cat Who Brought Down the House is the twenty-fifth
installment of the Qwilleran saga. Shall we try for twenty-six?
