Qwilleran rents a room from Mountclemens and starts to take care of Koko, who has rather delicate taste in eating. Qwill visits Mountclemens and meets Koko, a male Siamese cat who appears to be able to read, but only backwards. The paper's resident art critic is the reclusive and decidedly unpopular one-handed man named George Bonifield Mountclemens III. Qwilleran became known as a journalist for covering crime, but his new job at the Flux is hardly so glamorous: he's working on the art beat. Jim Qwilleran is attempting to get his life back on track, starting with a new job his old acquaintance, Arch Riker, is taking a chance. He also meets the critic's cat, a Siamese named Kao K'o-Kung, Koko for short. His first assignment is the art beat where he meets a rather eccentric – and not very well-liked – art critic whom he befriends. In the first book of the series, the reader is introduced to James Mackintosh Qwilleran (Qwill), a former crime reporter turned newsman on The Daily Fluxion. The Cat Who Could Read Backwards is the first novel in Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who.
