He insists his former owner was murdered, and Angie is the only one who can solve the case. She doesn’t exactly have experience in crime solving, but it turns out she’s a quick study. Soon, Angie and Octo-Cat are neck-deep in whacky whodunits, from canine eyewitnesses and riddle-speaking Sphynx cats to suspects who are all too human.
