Description
She wasn’t caught. She arrived.
On a summer evening in the marshlands of Southern New Jersey, an 8-month-old brown tabby appeared at a woman’s feet on the back deck — and never really left. This is the true story of Newsie, the feral cat who adopted her humans, and the beginning of a serialized cozy mystery starring her feral friends: Tiger Tiger (very vocal, very dramatic), Bootie (black patrol cat, white rear paws only), and the mysterious Black Panther.
