Ginger the Gangster Cat (Ginger the Cat) by joe kovacs
Genre(s): Animals, Cats, Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Dogs & Animals
G inger returns from the dead – to carry out the most cunning cat crime of the century. In Barcelona.
Ginger is not a happy cat.
He’s fat, he’s ugly, and he’s getting old.
He also lives in Surrey.
But Ginger’s days of mediocrity are over. His lifetime dream – his consuming cat-crime passion – is to go to Barcelona and score a whole lorry-load of tapas specialities from Tesco’s.
And when he meets poor little woebegone Sparky – the cutest cat in the universe – he sees his chance. “Nobody gives me nuffink!” has been his complaint, but Sparky is “luck on a stick” and Ginger does everything possible (including catching his mice) to gain his trust.
Sparky however is hopelessly attached to his litter tray. He does not want to go to Barcelona. He is happy right where he is, surrounded by eccentric Indian neighbours, scary Australian vets, dogs with no mouthwash, and amorous local tom-cats.
Ginger has a date with destiny. After 150 years, and who knows how many of his nine lives gone, he is going to meet the 16 gangster cats who ruined his last one. And he’s out for revenge.
‘Ginger’ is aimed at 8+ children, the parents who enjoy reading to them, and cat lovers everywhere.

Cinnamon collects the first clues to the lost Momma, who abandoned her in childhood. Defined by this loss, Cinnamon pursues these New Mexico mysteries with one eye on the crime and one eye on finding Momma. Burro assists with visions that contain clues to the crime, if only the two of them can figure out what they mean. Full of quirky characters, this story keeps you in your seat.
Personal Note from the Author:
I started this mystery series when my job required traveling around New Mexico. Mysteries and quirky characters floated to the surface. In Dulce, New Mexico, I felt the presence of spirits, hidden in the hills, on every visit. Truly, I was disturbed. My own mother died when I was 13, and I spend most of my life chasing her, so, in this cozy mystery series, I created the woman sleuth, Cinnamon, who chases her momma while she solves crime stories in picturesque locations in the Land of Enchantment.
