koko (fictional character)

Jim Qwilleran, a wealthy newspaper columnist in the small town of Pickax, and his crime-sensitive Siamese cat Koko, sense that something is wrong when movie star Thelma Thackeray, supposedly a native of Moose County, returns home after a six-decade-long Hollywood career to open a film club in the deserted opera house.

Millionaire philanthropist and newspaper columnist Jim Qwilleran's hopes for a peaceful spring season are squashed when he becomes involved in the investigation of the death of Widow Coggin, while at the same time trying to keep up with all the other strange happenings in Moose County.
