‘Like dropping in on old and very dear friends’ – Tampa Tribune-Times
When the residents of Moose County, including the reclusive millionaire, Jim Qwilleran, board the old steam locomotive – the celebrated Engine No. 9 – on its inaugural journey, little do they know that this first trip will also be the last. By next morning, Qwill discovers that the affluent owner of Engine No. 9, Floyd Trevelyn, has disappeared, along with his glamorous secretary and millions of dollars belonging to Moose County investors.
While the search is on for the fugitive, Qwill stays in Pickax and probes another mystery – why has Koko developed a sudden interest in certain works of literature and started to steal black pens?

Reviews
An offbeat series with a good deal of charm
Another from the series that delights so many
Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
The tale is as cosy as an hour spent with your favourite cat
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
The ideal bedtime tales for grown-ups
Can best be compared to that cosiest of feelings - having a purring cat on your lap
Entertaining and absorbing mysteries which, in the tradition of all good whodunnits, keep you guessing right to the end
The entanglement is better than a Christie and the cat descriptions are terrific
