Pickax’s favourite columnist, James Qwilleran, is enjoying a brief holiday in the nearby town of Black Creek – but his two Siamese, who prefer the spaciousness of their home, beg to differ. The blissful tranquillity is soon interrupted by the discovery of a body floating down the creek. And a possible motive for his murder is suggested when several gold nuggets are found in his possession. Might he have been illegally prospecting for gold? If so, it seems he wasn’t the only one in search of an easy fortune. And his competitor is far more determined to strike it rich…

Praise for Lilian Jackson Braun: Irresistible
This droll and engaging mystery... firmly grips the reader... a lively witty tale bolstered by sharply etched characters
Most detectives do their legwork on two legs. A few, however, do it on four...
The fastidious plotting is designed to appeal to more than just the cat-lover
An offbeat series with a good deal of charm
Like dropping in on old and very dear friends
As enjoyable as the past twenty-three
A series which has more twists and turns than a tabby's tail. This whimsical offering will probably leave you wondering where your tom is tonight
Mrs Braun has a breezy style; the cats are really smart
It's a Wonderful Life meets The Aristocats in this daft but endearing whodunnit
