There's something rotten in the small town of Pickax - an accident claims the life of the local paper's eccentric publisher; a widow is scandalously merry and a lady loves unwisely. Qwilleran and his two siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, nose their way through another mystery with Koko and his extra sensitive whiskers leading the way dropping Shakespeare volumes to point the direction. Qwill not only solves the mystery but continues to dispense his new found inherited wealth to help the inhabitants in the small town in the back of beyond.<ref> {{cite web |author=Di Bingham |
