Burden the hand by Randall Garrett

When the wealthy heiress Nikki is held captive in her own home by the villainous lawyer Van Ostrand and his henchmen, things look dire. But unbeknownst to them, Nikki’s long-lost father, a brilliant scientist, has a plan. By taking over the body of the housecat, he spies on the criminals to uncover their plot. Will he be able to save his daughter without blowing his cover?

The clock was self-correcting—so Van Ostrand’s plot was foolproof!

Van Ostrand was big and fat and had sleepy eyes and an oily manner about him that nobody with half a brain could fall for. I, personally, would have picked him as the villain of a vidicast the first time he walked on the screen. He could have played the part to a T. The trouble with somebody who looks that much like the heavy is that your mind rejects the idea. You think to yourself, “I’ll watch that guy because I don’t trust him, but I doubt if he could really be as bad as he acts—nobody could.”

Gordon Randall Phillip David Garrett was born December 16, 1927 and died December 31, 1987. He was an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was a contributor to Astounding and other science fiction magazines of the 1950s and 1960s. He instructed Robert Silverberg in the techniques of selling large quantities of action-adventure science fiction, and collaborated with him on two novels about men from Earth disrupting a peaceful agrarian civilization on an alien planet.
