Description

A hilarious, mile-a-minute thriller providing a sharp-eyed satire of our globalized world, in which those who shout loudest, shoot fastest, and spend most always try to come out on top

In the midst of the global financial downturn, listless financier and ex-special forces officer Harry Linley accepts the seemingly innocent task
of spending a week house-sitting for a friend. By the end of the first night, however, two men are dead on the kitchen floor. A handful of disparate international strangers find themselves subsequently entangled in a web of deceit, sex, and murder among the glittering towers of Dubai, with a seemingly unstoppable chain of miscommunication threatening to bring them and the world to ruin. At the heart of all this chaos: a beautiful, white Persian cat.

I didn't know what to expect since this was my first Oscar King book well suffice to say I'm glad I picked this up!
A hilarious read filled with unexpected twists and turns and with a cat involved to boot!!
Can't wait for the next book!
I'd like to thank NetGalley for providing me with a review copy.

Harry, a former Special Forces guy, is a nice guy. He works for a hedge fund in the Dubai. When he agrees to cat-sit for an acquaintance for a week, his life and the lives of all around him are turned topsy-turvy. He thwarts an attempt of his life but that is just the beginning of the misunderstandings.
This is an entertaining romp that mixes Russian Mafia, global politics, spies, beautiful women and an even more beautiful cat. No one is quite whom they purport to be and the misconceptions just keep coming, building one on the other.
While it didn't have me rollicking in the aisles, I loved the irony and the cynical humour. Confusion reigns supreme throughout but by the end of the book, the fates of those involved were strangely satisfying. Clearly though, there are plans for a follow-up. As long as Harry and Bunny are involved, count me in.
