He is deeply suspicious when requested on a case far out of his jurisdiction in an outlying village where a young woman has been murdered behind the local pub. The only witness is the establishment's black cat, who gives neither crook nor clue as to the girl's identity or her killer's.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Identifying the girl becomes tricky when she's recognized as both the shy local librarian and a posh city escort, and Jury must use all his wits and intuition to determine the connection to subsequent escort murders.

And Johnson, along with the imperturbable dog Mungo, just may be the key to it all.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e Written with Martha Grimes's trademark insight and grace, u003ciu003eThe Black Catu003c/iu003e signals the thrilling return of her greatest character.
