Picture this. A cute little kitty-cat that does all things that cats do, but with one peculiar talent: He solves murders.

The imagination that birthed this character resides in the creative noggin of Chris Abernathy. Longtime area residents may recall him as an Anniston resident who for many years was a radio host on Oxford FM station K-98. But now, as a Mobile-area resident, Abernathy writes stories featuring “Detective Whiskers,” a crime-fighting feline who helps his human counterpart, Sheila, solve murders in a cozy-small Florida beach town.
