The Secret Life of Pets meets Only Murders in the Building in a second cozy mystery from award-winning graphic novelist Rachel Elliott. In Night of the Bodega Cat, Zeb and Bel investigate when a ghostly apparition starts to steal all their snacks. Mysteries persist in Perpleck City when a dark and stormy night brings a power outage to the apartment complex! In the darkness, Zeb, Bel, and their human Josephine’s slumber are visited by the Haunted Hungry Hand--a ghostly, glowing human hand that steals their snacks! The HHH is a longstanding ghost story in Perpleck City, but Bel is convinced there’s a more earthly explanation. Zeb and Bel’s investigation takes them all over the apartment complex and even across the street to the bodega. Dave, the Bodega Cat (and Zeb’s new BFF!) wants to help solve the mystery, too, but Bel doesn’t know whether they can trust this shady character who has charmed her goofy brother. (And no, she’s definitely not jealous!) In a second Zeb and Bel mystery, twists and turns, shadowy entities, and a heated game of ping-pong abound as this delightful team work to crack the case.
