Jim Qwilleran, crime reporter turned editor, first meets Kao K'o-Kung, a pure-bred Siamese cat whom he calls Koko, and they become an unstoppable pair of investigators.

The discovery of a body slows down the groundbreaking of a new store, and on Qwill's own property no less. Then comes the sudden appearance of wild turkeys which haven't been present in Moose County for thirty years.

"A bombed-out hotel opens with a whole new look. One of the hotel's first guests, a jeweler is murdered. Qwilleran and his Siamese are willing to find the killer, But first they'll have to contend with a hijacked bookmobile, an attemped bank robbery . . . and a few of the cats' preoccupations".
