Emily Chase and her crew of sleuthing cats take on cases of missing persons and missing animals. When a neighborhood cat, Shadow, runs away from home and vanishes, the owner reaches out to Emily.

The journey to find Shadow takes Emily into the streets where stray cats roam and into animal shelters. Emily gets a close look into the world of free-living cats.

Emily's own cats are a unique and intelligent team. They think, articulate, and act to help Emily in the case.

Alongside the search for Shadow is Emily's understanding of animal nature, which grows as the story unfolds.
