The Beckoning Cat is a crime novel by Chris Lerpiniere and is based in Edinburgh. The story unfolds after a seemingly motiveless murder in the suburbs leads to an intriguing investigation involving the world of organ donation and the professionals who deliver these services. Mirry an Organ Donor Co-ordinator finds her professional world colliding with that of her partner John a senior police detective.

Readers reviews of the Beckoning Cat: ‘A really gripping first novel with super layered characters and plot points. Also love the depiction of Edinburgh throughout. One of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had in a while.’

‘A long and absorbing story of believable characters in an extreme set of circumstances. A more unusual take than the usual whodunnit. Nice sense of place and a wealth of authentic detail.’

The novel is available through Amazon or I will have copies at Pittenweem.
