James Qwilleran and his famous felines, Koko and Yum Yum, are back for another mystery-solving stint in the beloved, bestselling Cat Who . . . series.
"The feelings produced by reading about Qwill and his pals can best be compared to that coziest of feelings-having a purring cat on your lap." Booklist
The game is afoot at the Nutcracker Inn in the village of Black Creek, famous for its black walnuts and for its squirrels, which keep Koko endlessly entertained as he fences with them. Joining the usual cast of characters are gold prospectors, wildlife photographers, pirates, and-oh, yes, the game: bears! This varied mélange conspires to keep Qwilleran and the cats on their toes as they face their latest challenge in Braun's seductively charming style.

It's a Lillian Jackson Braun "Cat Who..." book. What more needs to be said? (Well, it might be worth saying that this one was one of the good ones, written before she got so old that the last few books have been ... not up to par, let us say.)
