DESCRIPTION
Detective Yoshitaro Katayama would rather avoid blood, heights, dark spaces, and plenty of other things that come with police work. But when a young woman is murdered, he reluctantly heads to Hagoromo Women's College to investigate rather than face the gruesome crime-scene photographs.
As more murders follow, Katayama encounters Holmes, a calico cat left without an owner after the college dean becomes another victim. Holmes soon reveals an uncanny talent for uncovering clues, giving the reluctant detective an unexpected partner as he tries to unravel the case.
Translated from Japanese by Haydn Trowell, A Game of Cat and Killer introduces English-language readers to Jiro Akagawa's long-running Mikeneko Holmes mysteries, pairing a squeamish detective with a remarkably observant feline sidekick.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
