THE CAT WHO WENT INTO THE CLOSET
by Lilian Jackson Braun Putnann, $19.95
Whimsical and wonderful— that's what critics call Braun's mystery series featuring millionaire Jim Qwilleran and his two savvy Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. In this caper, Qwill rents an old mansion and, once installed, finds the closets crammed with generations of family junk. The cats delight in pawing through it all, sniffing out relics to bring to his attention. An old matchbook, lace garters, even false teeth! But why these items? Qwill's not certain, until the death of a friend makes him look again at the odd assortment. A beguiling mix of cats, crime, and fun. Page 7i

Jess Köster is a tough, no-nonsense prosecutor—certainly not a woman given to wild flights of fancy. In the court-roonn she confronts the city's toughest criminals, outwits
the slickest lawyers, puts the worst offenders behind bars. But suddenly she finds herself on edge, looking over her shoulder. It seems that someone is watching her. Stalking her. But who? Is it the accused rapist she's determined to convict? Or is it someone else, someone much closer to her? Page 435
