"Neko-Tantei Syoutarou-no Bouken I Neko-ha Misshitu-de Jump-suru" by SHIBATA Yoshiki

Ms. Shibata is a Japanese write who mainly writes science fictions and mysteries. This is the first book of a series called 'Neko-Tantei Syoutarou-no Bouken' (An Adventure of Detective Cat - Syoutarou), and six short stories are involved.

But... there seems to be other long stories of Syoutarou before this series... Furthermore, Syoutarou is not a main character of some stories in this book --;;;

Anyway the titles of the short stories in this book are:
* 'Ai-suru S-heno Tinkonka' (A Requiem for Lovely S)
* 'Syoutarou-to Gurume-na Gogo-no Jiken' (A Matter of Gourmet with Syoutarou in the Afternoon )
* 'Hikaru Tsume' (Bright Nails)
* 'Syoutarou-to Hana-gara Shimon-no Bouken' (An Adventure of Syoutarou with Flower Shaped Death Crest ['death crest' and 'fingerprints' are the same pronunciation in Japanese and the use of it here may be double meaning.])
* 'Jingle Bell' (Jingle Bell)
* 'Syoutarou-to Inaka-no Jiken' (A Matter of Syoutarou in the Rural)
