Serena McKay is a female detective with an ugly past, but this awful past has made her into the strong and sarcastic detective in search of justice that she is.
Three different storylines are intertwined. First storyline: Serena takes on the case of a missing child. When Serena first meets the mom, she notices that the mom won’t let go of a stuffed purple kitty that belongs to the child. Against her better judgment, Serena agrees to search for the child and discover what happened to her.
Second storyline: So we understand just why Serena acts like she does, her thoughts back to her own past take on the part of another storyline. We see the abuse she suffered through as a child, the hurt she feels from an uncaring mother, and then how she is healed through the action of adoptive parents who took her in after she was deserted by her biological mom. Her experiences at the police academy also play heavily into how she behaves.
Third storyline: There is a sadistic killer roaming around, one that is sending verbal threats to Serena. Even though the one she knows the threats are from is supposed to be locked up in a maximum-security prison that is impossible to escape from, it has to be him. Serena is the only one that escaped his clutches years ago. She is the one who had him put away. Now she is afraid he has escaped and is coming after her.
Child abuse, pedophilia, rape, murder, friendship, and love can all be found in the pages of Purple Kitty. With twists and surprises around every corner, this is a book that will keep your attention from the very first page until the last.

Even though Chariss writes dark fiction about insanely dark topics, such as sexual abuse, incest, pedophilia, sexual assault, and other inappropriate dinner conversation, there is always an essential question of the abstract nature that gives a reader increasing awareness and perception.
