Its a case of feline interventionTheres something special about Max. He may look like your regular ginger flabby tabby but unlike most tabbies he can actually communicate with his human reporter for the Hampton Cove Gazette Odelia Poole. Max takes a keen interest in the goings-on in their small town by snooping around with his best friends Dooley a not-too-bright ragamuffin and Harriet a gorgeous white Persian. Their regular visits to the police station the barbershop and the doctors office provide them with those precious and exclusive scoops that have made Odelia the number one reporter in town.But when suddenly the body of a bestselling writer is discovered buried in the last Long Island outhouse and a new policeman arrives in town to solve the murder it looks like things are about to change in Hampton Cove. Detective Chase Kingsley doesnt take kindly to nosy reporters like Odelia snooping around his crime scene or interviewing his suspects. And to make matters worse hes got a cat of his own in Brutus a buff black bully who just like his owner likes to lay down the law. Soon Brutus isnt just restricting access to the police station but hes putting the moves on Harriet breaking up the band.Now its all Odelia Max and Dooley can do to try and solve the murder in spite of Detective Kingsleys and Brutuss protestations and show the overbearing cop and his bullyragging feline how things are done in Hampton Cove. Will Odelia find the killer before Detective Kingsley does? And will Max prevent Brutus from moving in on his territory and taking over the town?
