The Unscratchables by Cornelius Kane - A delightful satire of the cat and dog worlds.

CRUSHER McNASH is the police forces most fearless detective, a barrel-chested bull terrier with a biscuit-thin temper and a barbed-wire tongue.

CASSIUS LAP is the finest agent in the Feline Bureau of Investigation, an imperturbable Siamese with a mind as sharp as a can opener.

SAN BERNARDO is their territory, a seething metropolis where fat-cats prance in the exclusive island enclave of Kathattan while working dogs wallow in the stinking squalor of the Kennels.

When a couple of Rottweiler gangsters are brutally murdered, Crusher McNash tries to convince himself that its nothing unusual -- just another underworld territorial dispute. But after the sniffer squad identifies a feral-cat killer, McNash is forced to do the unthinkable -- team up with a prissy Siamese from the FBI. The trail leads from junkyards to gambling dens, from cat prisons to baronial estates, in the process unraveling an awesome conspiracy involving domination techniques, population control, and the megalomaniacal ambitions of fox media magnate Phineas Reynard.

Both a hard-bitten crime story and a sharp-fanged satire, The Unscratchables is the genre-bending mystery of the year.

A delightful satire of the cat and dog worlds.
What at first seemed to be just another murder mystery, turned out to be a delightful satire of everything cat and dog. For instance, the Siamese cat detective, Cassius Lap, is a member of the FBI (Feline Bureau of Investigation) and lives in the metropolis of Kathattan. The bull terrier dog detective, Crusher McNash, fights crime in an area called The Kennels, utilizing "sniffer squads". Every page uses words evocative of cats, dogs or other animals, giving the reader a laugh a minute.
