A dark psychological crime thriller told through the eyes of a cat whose former owner was a serial killer. Now a series of murders, mysterious stalkers and a threat to his family bring the horror dangerously close to home.
My first owner was a serial killer. Now one of his followers has taken my kitten.
I’m not just a cat anymore.
I’m a father.
And I’ll do anything to protect my kittens. But something is watching us.
At first, it’s just one man outside the apartment window. Then two. Then three. Always there. Always waiting.
Then she arrives. Dean’s mother.
And suddenly, women who look like her—dark hair, same features—are being murdered in exactly the same way Dean used to kill.
It should have ended with him.
It didn’t.
When Jane is attacked and one of my kittens is taken, I realise this is no coincidence. With Jane in the hospital, it falls to me alone to find Tabios before it’s too late.
But the truth is far worse than I imagined. Because these aren’t just killers. They’re admirers.
Fans of my first owner.
And this time… they want something from me.
The Unfortunate Cat is the fourth book in J.S. Ellis’s Theodore: The Neighbour’s Cat series. A dark psychological crime thriller combining serial killer obsession, stalking and a father's desperate determination to protect his family, told through the eyes of an extraordinary feline narrator.
