Sherlockcat and the Case of the Poopy Pawprints, a Book in Two Volumes
Volume I opens in 221B Dodger Street, with Sherlockcat and Dr Watson preparing for dinner, when Ms Lawson, his landlady and sometime housekeeper, announces that Inspector Lestrade has asked for his assistance concering the appearance of poopy pawprints around London.
As Sherlockcat and Watson investigate, the evidence begins to point the blame at Sherlockcat himeself. However, Sherlockcat discovers that the actual perpetrator is none other than Professor Maowriarty!
With no solid evidence of Maowriarty’s guilt and the police closing in on him, Sherlockcat is forced to flee until he can find the evidence to clear his name.
Volume II opens with Dr Watson, who has been attempting to track down Sherlockcat ever since he absconded, discovering Sherlockcat in a catnip den in Shanghai. Fearing the worst for his friend, he attempts to intervene, but Sherlockcat convinces him that he is, in fact, only in the den as part of his investigation of Maowriarty, the actual cat in the mirror in the first book.
Sherlockcat discovers that the events of the first book were simply a rouse to make sure that Sherlockcat, as the only intellect Maowriarty considered his equal, was discredited and thus could not intervene in his true master plan: the cornering of the world yarn trade.
After barely escaping Shanghai with their lives, Sherlockcat and Watson track Maowriarty to Austria, where Sherlockcat confronts Maowriarty in a castle in the Austrian Alps. In the ensuing fight, both Sherlockcat and Maowriarty tumble over a balcony in to a raging waterfall, falling to their doom.
Or did they? Has Maowriarty been defeated? Will Sherlockcat return? Find out in the next book: “The Pups of the Baskervilles”.
