Qwilleran moves in with an art critic who works for the paper. The man has a cat with a very large name which Qwilleran shortens to Koko. Koko likes to read the newspaper the man sets on the floor for him backwards (the name for the book). Qwilleran's interest in his subject deepens further when a art shop owner is killed.
After some dead ends Qwilleran is asked to watch the art critic's cat while he is away. Qwilleran accepts and is surprised to see how smart Koko is. Soon after the art critic comes back Qwilleran comes back to find Koko wanting him to go into the man's apartment. It turns out the art critic has been murdered! With the art critic gone Koko moves in with Qwilleran and shows how smart he really is by showing Qwilleran to some very important clues. One turns out to be a valuable painting and the other a secret room. Upon coming back to it Qwilleran meets up with the murderer and all the clues fall into place.
I finished the book it was very good and I would recommend it to those who a little higher up in vocabulary or those who can infere a lot about words from their surrounds for this is an adult mystery book.
