Mr. Poe's months-long rivalry with Cèsar Hawke comes to a head when they're forced to cooperate on an investigation. The vampire barista's house has been falling apart since her feline companion passed away, and she's convinced it's punishment for her sins as a cat mom from the god of cats himself. Searching for the truth leads Mr. Poe on a treacherous path of mortality, mystery, and trying to convince his owners they don't need a second cat.
The fourth entry in the Psychic Cat Mysteries novelette series.
