Everything was fine until I was hit by lightning. Then the cats started talking to me. I ignored them until the night Death came calling on my side of the mountain. He was tall, wore a wet denim coat and smelled of butt. The to-die-for handsome sheriff was calling Irv's death an accident, but the cats and I knew better. Could we prove it?

Neither suspected the road to love could be so rough.
