“Best book I’ve read this year,” said the author.
“Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark!” Five barks said the author’s dog. Good boy.
Out of the forest and fog he comes, his silhouette barely perceptible displacing the mist around him. (“Is he a monster?”) (“No.”) His footfalls are as quiet as a cat, his vision as sharp as a vampire. (“Is he a cat?”) (“Yes he’s a cat.”) He jumps fifteen feet up into a tree, watching as people stroll by, searching for a certain someone to pounce on, searching for the killer. (“Is he a dog?) (“I already said he was a cat.”) He can run faster than the wind. (“Faster than the wind inside a tornado?”) (“I suppose so.”) He’s Moon Diamond, a Siamese cat and protector of the innocent. (“Does he carry a gun?”) (“I said he’s a cat now how’s a cat going to carry a gun?) Moon Diamond opens a private investigator’s office to help solve crimes, thus is born Moon Diamond Mysteries. (“What? I thought you said he was a cat?”) He is a Siamese-vampire hybrid feline. (“Are you sure he’s a cat?”) (“Shut up.”)
Zacharia, an ancient friend of Dracula’s had an old Siamese cat named Moon Diamond that had lived beyond its lifespan but he loved it so much that he kept it alive with a piece of his soul. When Zacharia was killed something extraordinary happened, his soul went inside the cat and his spirit now shares control of the feline.
People are being murdered in New York and Zacharia becomes interested in the case, a nice diversion from being a cat; he wants to see if he can’t scratch up the killer, trying to get Dracula interested in the case but it’s not easy to get the Master to do anything.
The police approach Dracula, unsure if they are dealing with a vampire or just some maniac, hoping that he’ll step up and help them. But Dracula is fascinated by another distraction, a pregnant cat named Trixie.
Although Moon Diamond is a fictional character he's also a genuine cat, part Siamese that gets me up at five in the morning so that he can go out. And so starts my day.
