To Blunt The Sharpest Claw

The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases.

With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the books blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers.

This submission is the title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet.
