 Phoenix | Lynne Truss | Cat Out of Hell 7PM THURSDAY, MARCH 19 Lynne Truss: Cat Out of Hell LOCATION: PHOENIX The grammatical guru behind the #1 international bestseller Eats, Shoots and Leaves visits with her new novel, a humorous tale of cats, mystery, and murder. For people who both love and hate cats comes the tale of Dr. "Wiggy" Winterton, a librarian who finds himself suddenly alone: he's just lost his job, his beloved wife has just died, and to top it all off, his sister has disappeared. Overcome by grief, he stands in his sister's kitchen staring at the only witness to what's happened to her—her cat, Roger. Who then speaks to him. It takes a while for Wiggy to realize he's not gone mad from grief, that the cat is actually speaking . . . and that much of what we fear about cats is true. They do think they're smarter than humans, for one thing, and, well, it seems they are! What's more, they do have nine lives. Or at least this one does: Roger's older than Methuselah, and his unblinking stare comes from the fact that he's seen it all. And he's got a tale to tell, a tale of shocking local history and dark forces that may link not only the death of Wiggy's wife, but also several other local deaths, as well as the disappearance of his sister. But will the cat help Wiggy, or is he one of the dark forces?
