| Meet Sam the Cat. His fee is a half a pound of lox, plus expenses. His clients are other felines, but he catches human crooks. He’s Manhattan’s funniest (and furriest) private eye— or, as one critic put it, “If Philip Marlowe came back as a cat, he’d have come back as Sam.” In “The Maltese Kitten,” Sam’s third adventure, a mysteriously valuable black kitten disappears, a blue-eyed redhead asks Sam to track him down, and he soon finds he’s playing in a game of cat and mouse in which nothing, and no one, is ever what it seems. | |
