In Library Cat, bestselling author Alex Howard tugged on readers’ heart strings with his witty collection of observations about the University of Edinburgh’s most famous feline denizen. In his latest century-spanning novel, The Ghost Cat, Howard’s be-whiskered protagonist is a ghost residing in Edinburgh’s leafy Marchmont. Howard joins Mary Paulson-Ellis to chat about inhabiting the moggie mind and how he found inspiration from an Edinburgh tenement.
