Purrfect Crash (The Mysteries of Max, #106)

I had plans for tonight. Sleep. More sleep. Possibly a snack. Definitely not solving a missing person case.
It starts with a midnight break-in. A giant stranger barges into our house, dragging along a very polite (and very hungry) dog named George—who claims his human has vanished without a trace.
According to George, the police have given up. The family has moved on. And the only hope left… is me.
Which is ridiculous. I'm a cat. Not a missing-persons detective.
But when Odelia gets pulled into the case, things take a darker turn. A dead body shows up in the neighborhood. Another turns up miles away under suspicious circumstances. And suddenly, this isn't just about one missing man—it's about secrets, danger, and something much bigger than anyone expected.
With a desperate dog, a pushy human, and my friends getting way too involved for their own good, it's up to me to figure out what's really going on before someone else ends up dead.
Because one thing is certain: in Hampton Cove, trouble never knocks politely.
