Plot introduction

Qwilleran, a reporter for the Daily Fluxion, and Koko, his Siamese cat with strange talents, are settling into Qwill's newest assignment--a magazine specializing in interior decorating. But as soon as Qwill gets a great story ready to produce, some unfortunate mishaps seem to get in the way. Koko begins acting strangely, prompting Qwill to discover that he is in need of a companion. Yum Yum, an orphaned Siamese female belonging to one of the victims, becomes Koko's new friend. Qwill also meets a charming young woman (an architect named Alacoque Wright) who takes a real shine to him and he to her.
