Preview BuyThe streets and beaches of Port Townsend are alive with visitors enjoying the warm August days and spectacular vistas of Puget Sound. But one keen mind is preoccupied with a more serious issue: the tragic death of the town’s most famous resident. Following his nose, instincts, and leads from locals, Detective Wellington sets out to solve the mystery of Siren, the Siamese show cat.
“An inviting read full of warmth and tenderness … with plenty of useful metaphors [for] the meaning of true beauty, diversity, facing fear and the importance of communication.”
“Detective Wellington lets us into his daily life full of reflection and purpose, instinct and belonging.”
★★★★ Sasha Ward, Ward of Books
A mystery novel for young(-at-heart) readers featuring an unusual detective who is as serious about solving the case as he is about his afternoon naps.
What did I know about Siren?
Well … let’s start with the obvious — she was elegant and refined. […] She had a reputation for stopping German Shepherds in their tracks. She was a blue ribbon winner of multiple events in her 11-month career as a Professional Show Cat. In a town composed primarily of rescues, half-breds, unregistered mutts, and more than one tripod, this was big news.
