1994 Edgar Award for Best Short Story (nominee)
In this Edgar-Award-nominated story, a bureaucrat investigates activity that most of us would hardly consider to be criminal: someone at his agency is actually getting things done for tax-payers. The problem is, this apparently conscientious federal employee doesn't seem to work at the agency. Curiouser and curiouser. And what is with the administrative assistants and all these cats named "Dust"?
The story lost the Edgar to "Keller's Therapy" by Lawrence Block, but "Enduring As Dust" has been anthologized many times in books of mysteries and books of cat stories. It also won, from the Cat Writers Association, the Jonny Cat Litter-ary Award. Yes, that was a real thing in 1994.
Genre: Mystery
