Publisher's Note Spring has come early to Moose County. On the surface, things appear tranquil for newspaperman Jim Qwilleran and his two felines, Koko and Yum Yum. But then an elderly woman dies in a suspicious fire, and the newly opened art center falls victim to a mysterious break-in. Throw in a scandal involving an unscrupulous local politician and an anticomputer uprising at the town library and suddenly life is anything but peaceful. In addition, a young artist disappears, and Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum have some serious sleuthing to do .
Industry Reviews "Braun's terminally arch mixture is even more extreme than before as confusion reigns, characters proliferate, and Qwill, with his second-sighted assistants, once more solves Pickax's problems." Kirkus Reviews (01/01/1998)
