Book, 1999
Current format, Book, 1999, , Available .It's September in Pickax, four hundred miles north of everywhere, and the citizens of Moose County are all agog: the Highland Games, celebrating Pickax's Scottish heritage with such revelry as bagpipe skirling and tossing the caber, are expected to yield aggressive county-partisan competition; the town hotel is reopening in grand style; and the mysterious Mr. Delacamp, a renowned estate jewelry dealer from Chicago, is honoring the town with a visit. The excitement rises to a fever pitch when Delacamp is found murdered in his room at the new hotel - and his assistant is inexplicably missing. Then the winner of the caber-tossing contest disappears as well, and it's up to journalist/philanthropist Jim Qwilleran and his suspiciously sagacious Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, to get to the bottom of it all. Could Koko's newfound interest in photographs, pennies, and paper towels help lead Qwilleran to the murderer?
The residents of Pickax are thrilled to see the moldering Pickax Hotel restored and reopened under new ownership, but when one of the first guests turns up dead, the victim of foul play, Qwilleran and his snooping Siamese cats are soon prowling around for clues. 155,000 first printing.
