James the Connoisseur Cat by Harriet Hahn
A Connoisseur Cat Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Open Road
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/10/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).
First published in hardcover by St. Martin's Press in 1991.
The delightful crime-solving and aristocratic social adventures of an American antiques expert and a British feline with finesse …
It's love at first sight when a businessman visiting London meets a silver-gray cat named James in the lobby of his apartment house. The two begin meeting regularly for cocktails — single-malt whiskey, neat, for James — and attending posh parties, where James first makes a name for himself by cracking the case of a priceless jewel scam.
Soon James is on the prowl, deterring pickpockets on the subway and ferreting out stamp forgeries and counterfeit paintings. In between crime capers, he screens potential tenants, spends the holidays at an ancestral estate in Devon where the crème de la crème of British society anoints him Sir James, and indulges in his penchants for pâté de fois gras and matchmaking with inimitable panache.

James, Fabulous Feline by Harriet Hahn
A Connoisseur Cat Mystery (2nd in series)
Publisher: Open Road
Price: $3.99 (as of 02/10/2015 at 4:30 PM ET).
First published in hardcover by St. Martin's Press in 1993.
The excellent adventures of the aristocratic British feline continue as James puts his best paw forward to solve crimes while indulging in the finer things in life …
James is enjoying life at Baron's Chambers, the London apartment house where he shares a flat with his sometime handler, an American fine arts agent. But his deductive abilities will be put to the test when he's called on to detect philatelic forgeries at Thwaites, one of the city's great auction houses.
The recently knighted cat also finds time to coach a croquet team, oversee rehearsals of a sequel to Cats, and help deliver a baby. Not to be outdone by cheesy actors or blundering attorneys, he makes his film debut and testifies in a criminal trial at the Old Bailey. But he has a special place in his heart for St. James's Palace, the address he longs to call home.
