There's something rotten in the small town of Pickax--at least to the sensitive noses of newspaperman Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats Koko and Yum Yum. An accident has claimed the life of the local paper's eccentric publisher, but to Qwilleran and his feline friends it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret, but Koko's snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove CATastrophic...because somewhere in Pickax a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look. The stage is set for Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum, and the second act of murder most meow...Describe Books As The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare (Cat Who... #7)

The books of plays by Shakespeare that Koko knocks down are a hint of what is to come. For example, the first one, The Tempest, comes just before the death of Senior Goodwinter, the owner of the local paper.
