Copy Cats

If your cat told you there was murder afoot, would you believe him?
When cat shelter volunteer Lynley Cannon attends a workshop on animal communication- the psychic kind- she never guesses it could lead to a scheme both conniving and deadly. Someone in Portland is counterfeiting show cats, but that's not the worst of it. Their techniques are savage and abusive, and Lynley must find the culprits before they do more harm. To compound matters, there's a serial killer loose in the city, mangling his victims with a gruesome cat-like claw. The crimes are connected, but only a senior sleuth like Lynley can figure out why.
