Misto—from the Joe Grey mystery Cat Bearing Gifts—returns as a ghost facing off the devil in this magical tale that illuminates the lives of Murphy's speaking cats
Despite the fierce little ghost cat, will the devil get his due
To Satan, human life is as brief as spit on the wind—and the challenge of playing with flawed humans, as a cat toys with mice, is endlessly amusing. But when the devil loses a wager, he will harass the victor's descendants until he obliterates them—thus he torments Lee Fontana.
The night before Lee's parole, Satan tempts the thief with a promise that is hard to refuse . . . one that will destroy Lee. Only the ghost cat stands between them, a small hissing entity defending Lee. On this dark and dangerous mission, Misto leaves a complicated legacy for Joe Grey and his pals in sunny Molena Point.
