The Day of the Mutant Cat

The city of Marrasvirta is celebrating its annual autumn festival, and the streets, alleys, and parks are bustling with people. It is in the midst of this excitement that Kaarna, a man in his forties and the head city planner, receives a call from his mother’s nursing home about her fading health. These news set off a series of events that will dismantle Kaarna’s carefully constructed life…

Following in his mother’s footsteps, Kaarna must unravel the many mysteries that surround his mother’s life and, somehow, tie them into his own. What is really true, and where do the alternative truths lie?

And what is happening with all the cats? Why are they so strange? One thing is certain, however, if you value your life, you must not look at them. Who knows what you might see if you do? 

The Day of the Mutant Cat is an exciting multi-layered novel that shakes the reader and forces us to reflect about who we really are, and how much we can actually trust the memories of our past.
