This is book 22 of Lilian Jackson Braun's Cat Who series.
It's September in Pickax, four hundred miles north of everywhere, and the
citizens of Moose County are all agog: the Highland Games, celebrating
Pickax's Scottish heritage with such revelry as bagpipe skirling and tossing
the caber, are expected to yield aggressive county-partisan competition; the
town hotel is reopening in grand style; and the mysterious Mr. Delacamp, a
renowned estate jewelry dealer from Chicago, is honoring the town with a
visit. The excitement rises to a fever pitch when Delacamp is found murdered
in his room at the new hotel - and his assistant is inexplicably missing.
Then the winner of the caber-tossing contest disappears as well, and it's up
to journalist/philanthropist Jim Qwilleran and his suspiciously sagacious
Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, to get to the bottom of it all. Could Koko's
newfound interest in photographs, pennies, and paper towels help lead
Qwilleran to the murderer?
