Never Kill a Cat and Other Stories

One of the "folk wisdoms that circulates among crime/mystery writers is this: While one may slaughter as many humans in pretty much any gory fashion one wishes, a writer will earn his/her readers' undying enmity should they presume to fictionally destroy a feline. (Dogs are only slightly less verboten...perhaps dog lovers are more sanguine?) In the title story we have an old woman, alone in the world but for her beloved felines...and among them is a serial killer in the making. They say revenge is a dish best served cold-cold as death. This collection includes nine more tales-including Archer's seventies-era "hippy P.I. Doug McCool short stories, collected together for the first time.
