Cat Catcher


Caroline Shaw

Meet Lenny Aaron, a Zen-cool young ex-cop with a few left-field addictions, a super droll style and a seedy little office of her own in downtown Footscray. Sworn off true crime after a harrowing experience on duty, Lenny earns her living tracking missing cats down Melbourne’s alleys and byways.

But everything changes for Lenny when a routine search for a daughter’s missing Ragdoll brings her into the viperous bosom of Australia’s most powerful media family. The patriarch is dying, and the stakes are sky-high for a piece of the action. When someone takes it, brutally, Lenny finds herself back in the murder business.

And is doesn’t stop there. While Lenny trawls through the morass of corruption, sex, greed, power and money to find the killer, she is forced to confront her haunting past. Will her feline cunning and ice-cool courage be enough to survive? -- book cover
