One death is a tragedy. But two is a warning. Can Cat Caliban stop the killer before they strike again?

No task is too small for a detective-in-training, so Cat takes on the routine task of finding the lost kitten of a heartbroken boy. But the case takes a surprising turn when she discovers a mysterious notebook.

It belonged to Julius “Juky” Kay. The body of the promising basketballer was recently found in a creek with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Local police are stumped but Cat knows there are no jinxes where bullets are concerned.

Then she discovers Juky wasn’t the first member of the basketball team to meet a sticky end. A few months earlier at practice, another teen died clutching his chest.

Can Cat bring the killer to court before they take another shot?

Perfect for fans of Steve Higgs, Dorothy Cannell, Lucy Connelly, Ellie Alexander and Richard Osman.
