Detective Yoshitaro Katayama is afraid of many things: heights, dark spaces, blood and women. When a young female student is found murdered, he's given two choices - review the harrowing crime-scene photographs or head to Hagoromo Women's College to investigate - and reluctantly opts for the latter. But the murders don't stop, and soon Katayama has a different surprise on his hands: a calico cat named Holmes, orphaned her owner falls victim.

Surely that's the last thing Katayama needs. Until Holmes begins to display some uncanny investigative instincts of her own ...

Introducing one the most iconic investigative duos in crime fiction - a hapless detective and his capable cat, this istThe first novel in one of the most beloved crime series of all time - more than 30 million copies of the Mikeneko Holmes books sold in Japan

Translated from the Japanese by Haydn Trowell.
