The cat who turned on and off-Garrett

Right now I am reading the first Cat Who..... book in the series. Qwilleran had arrived in a town called Junktown to write a story about it. It's called junktown because all the stores mainly sell antiques. Qwill is at an auction to see what they have and to find Mrs. Cobb to see if he can get an apartment for rent. He finally got one from C. C. Cobb (not Mrs. Cobb) and he is staying there. Later on he is still trying to figure out why Andy Glanz died because of the accident. Qwill doesn't believe it was an accident. A few nights later C. C. goes scrounging for more things he can sell but while he is at this house, who many other antique dealers go to get things to sell, is found the next morning dead in the upstairs bedroom. While Qwill and Mrs. Cobb are there the police come (because their cab driver told the police two people were being dropped off at an abandoned house and you're not supposed to go to this house and scrounge) and ask why Qwill and Iris (Mrs. Cobb) are there. The police knew that C. C. was already dead. So Qwill is thinking this was a murder and is investigating it...............
