A spirit cat, the devil, a deceitful criminal, an innocent man framed for murder, and a special young girl combine in this magical sequel to The Cat, the Devil, and Lee Fontana from Shirley Rousseau Murphy, the award-winning, critically acclaimed author of the Joe Grey series
Thanks to the help of Misto the ghost cat, thief and train robber Lee Fontana finally beat the devil, who has tormented his family for generations. Unfortunately, fairness means nothing to the evil wraith—the big, rangy ghost tomcat knows he will return.
While Misto keeps an eye out for Lee's dark antagonist, he's also watching over nine-year-old Sammie Blake, his companion in a previous lifetime. Sammie is blessed with an extraordinary gift the devil covets: her dreams portend the future. Yet Misto senses there is something even more mysterious about Sammie—she has an inexplicable connection with Lee that the clever feline is determined to understand. Like Lee, Sammie has suffered from Satan's tricks: One of the devil's longtime puppets, a bad penny named Brad Falon, orchestrated a deadly robbery and framed her daddy, Morgan Blake, to take the fall.
Though Morgan is behind bars, he isn't alone. He's met a new friend who knows a few tricks about outwitting evil: old con Lee Fontana, the devil's adversary. Together, they plan a wily escape to bring the real killer to justice and clear Morgan's name.
All it will take is outsmarting the devil one more time. . . .
