Missing Mildred

Detective Linny has a case that has taken her to the village of Dalarna, Sweden: her cat is missing. The magnifying glass she carries functions as both investigative tool and weapon — specifically, it channels concentrated beams of sunlight that allow Linny to manage her fear of birds, which are numerous in Dalarna and not uniformly friendly. The search for the missing cat proceeds across the village with whatever the investigation uncovers.
