The 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
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 - The Deductions of Mikeneko Holmes is a must for all readers of Japanese cat fiction and classic crime.
Translated from the Japanese by Haydn Trowell
