As I thumbed through Sham’s case book, I found it stuffed full of cryptic notes, old laundry lists, several mash letters from Miss Marple and a note from someone at the Continental Agency who’d neglected to sign his name... There was a Mugufin Spotter's Guide, Instructions for deciphering Japanese Purple and German Enigma Codes, a crank letter from someone named Yamamoto, threatening to bomb the Peoria Dockyards, Several photos of J.

Nope, nothing useful there - Not a scribble concerning Kittens! Although “The Strange Case of the Hooker with the Really Big Knockers” looked interesting... I bookmarked that one to peruse later...
