Produktinformationen zu „The Cat Who Brought Down the House “
Alle Bewohner des Städtchens Pickax warten neugierig auf die Ankunft der bekannten Schauspielerin Thelma Thackeray, die in ihren Geburtsort zurückkehrt. Für Trubel sorgt nicht nur die Eröffnung eines Filmtheaters, sondern auch der Diebstahl von Thelmas geliebten Papageien. In der darauf folgenden Nacht wird ein Mann erschossen, und der Journalist Qwilleran wird obendrein bestohlen. Nur Qwillerans Katze Koko, die bestimmte Leute nicht riechen kann und nachts alarmierend miaut, hat schon eine Spur. Warum aber entwickelt sie diese merkwürdige Vorliebe für die Bücher von Robert Louis Stevenson.
Klappentext zu „The Cat Who Brought Down the House “
Siamese cat Koko s stage debut is postponed when Jim Qwilleran suspects the feline s costar may be guilty of murder in this Cat Who mystery the 25th in the New York Times bestselling series! Jim Qwilleran lives in Pickax, 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. Qwilleran has a secret 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 evildoer...
Retiring in Pickax, actress Thelma Thackeray has decided to start a film club and organize a fundraiser revue, starring Koko the cat. But Thelma's celebrated arrival takes an unpleasant turn when the strange circumstances of her twin brother's recent death seem suspicious to Jim Qwilleran. Qwill needs a helping paw in this case. But will Koko deign to take time from his stage debut?
Autoren-Porträt von Lilian Jackson Braun
The history of Lilian Jackson Braun is perhaps as exciting and mysterious as her novels. Between 1966 and 1968, she published three novels to critical acclaim: The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern, and The Cat Who Turned On and Off. In 1966, the New York Times 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, The Cat Who Saw Red. 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.
