An embezzler absconds with millions of the Moose County funds in an historical locomotive. Shortly thereafter, a train wrecks on the main line and a dead body turns up in a railstop watering hole.

Publisher's Note
Floyd Trevelyan's historic steam locomotive, newly restored, is the newest attraction in Moose County. But the excitement is eclipsed by shock when Trevelyan disappears--along with millions of investors' dollars. Now, Qwill--with the help of his cats, Koko and Yum Yum--is trying to make a connection between the missing man and a recent murder at the railroad tavern.

Industry reviews
Best of series, this 17th The Cat Who caper slyly creeps up on the reader. The newest delight in Moose County, ``400 miles north of everywhere,'' is a railroad buff's refurbished locomotive, which is making its debut run. Floyd Trevelyan, the train owner, disappears just as the state closes down the credit union associated with his business. While others believe the man has decamped with investors' money, newspaper columnist Jim Qwilleran doesn't believe Trevelyan would abandon his railroad project. He persuades his friend and sleuthing cohort Celia, recently moved to Pickax City from Chicago, to go undercover to find the missing businessman. Meanwhile, librarian Polly Duncan, with whom Qwill has had a long-standing relationship, is becoming distraught about the house she is building nearby. After a carpenter on the project is stabbed in a barroom brawl and the contractor, Trevelyan's son, is seriously injured on the job, Qwill begins to fear for Polly's health. Qwill's Siamese cat, Koko, plays a central role in solving these puzzles as Qwill struggles equally to interpret the cat's hints and cope with those problems complicating his personal life.

This is a used book in good readable condition.
 Rating is very subjective-this is a used book that has been read,
I would consider it very good, but have listed it as good in case your standards are higher than mine-
I love to read and if a book has both covers firmly attached and complete ,
all of it's pages and no marks I think it's great.

I list my handling time as 3 business days, HOWEVER I generally take far less time.
Reality is I live in THE GREAT NORTHEAST and we have some very bad winter storms,
so I prefer to state a longer time and amaze you when it takes less.

I only accept PayPal, please let me know if this is a problem.
If you have a problem with my shipping cost PLEASE do not bid.
I will NOT change the price after you win, except for my combined shipping discount.

I do combine shipping as follows:
2 items I will take 25% off the 2nd shipping cost.
3 items I will take 25% off all shipping cost.
10 or more items and I will take 50% off all shipping cost.
25 items or more and I will take 75% off all shipping cost.
50 items or more and I will take 90% off all shipping cost.

The shipping discount will appear on your combined invoice as a -$_.00 at the bottom of the invoice.
The more you buy the more I discount the shipping cost.

PLEASE wait for your combined invoice, I will not refund for seperate payments.


I ONLY ship within the United States.
Please ask ANY questions PRIOR to bidding as I will NOT accept returns or give refunds.

I don't want to set a time limit on payments. I know most people pay propmtly.
HOWEVER for the few that DRAG things out-
PLEASE NOTE after 7 days I will open an unpaid item strike unless you have made MUTUALLY agreeable arangements.
