Description
A ghost cat defies pure evil in this gritty but tender tale of an old train robber facing off the devil. The big, golden tomcat accompanies Lee when he’s paroled from federal prison: a cat sometimes seen, sometimes invisible. Lee is set on committing one last robbery to support him in his failing years--but the devil has darker plans. Satan means to crush Lee for the three-generation vendetta he holds against Lee’s family. Only the ghost cat understands fully. Fiercely he confronts the dark spirit, encouraging Lee’s moral side, shaming Lee when he is tempted by Lucifer’s hypnotic lust. Shirley Rousseau Murphy, author of the award-winning Joe Grey mystery series--a writer hailed for her “magical whimsy and deft writing” (Cats Magazine) who "has raised the stakes of the feline sleuth genre” (Kirkus Reviews)--teams up with her husband to conjure this gripping supernatural adventure, sprinkled with lighter moments of feline clowning. This compelling departure from the Joe Grey series will have you flying through the pages, anxious to find out what happens next.... The relationships are complex and true-to-life, and the post-World War II landscape is drawn beautifully.... This is one mystery not to miss!
