Out of the night comes a man who saves lives at the risk of his own. Once a circus performer; an aerialist who refused the net. Once a cat burglar; a master among jewel thieves. And now, a professional bodyguard. Primitive, savage, in love with danger--The Cat!

Part Gypsy by birth, Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat lives up to his name, having worked as a circus acrobat and a cat burglar. Now he works as a bodyguard, hiring his services out to those who can afford him. But it's not just money that The Cat is after: it's the thrill of danger and the challenge of the chase.
