Introducing one the most iconic investigative duos in crime fiction - a hapless detective and his capable cat.
Detective Yoshitaro Katayama is afraid of many things: heights, dark spaces, blood and ...women. When a young female student is found murdered, he's given two choices - review the harrowing crime-scene photographs or head to Hagoromo Women's College to investigate - and reluctantly opts for the latter. But the murders don't stop, and soon Katayama has a different surprise on his hands: a calico cat named Holmes, orphaned when her owner falls victim.
Surely that's the last thing Katayama needs. Until Holmes begins to display some uncanny investigative instincts of her own . .The first novel in one of the most beloved crime series of all time - more than 30 million copies of the Mikeneko Holmes books sold in Japan. Translated from the Japanese by Haydn Trowell.
Hardback, 320 pages.
