by Dorothy Salisbury Davis ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 10, 1948
The decease of a recluse and his cat, passed off as natural deaths by the local Mayor, engages the suspicion of young newspaperman Alex Whiting, provokes his attempt to autopsy the cat, leads to the long silenced, long buried entanglements of a first family and finally establishes the identity of the killer. Small town, small time, but neat in execution.
