Cat in an Alphabet Soup — Carole Nelson Douglas

(Previously published as CATNAP)

The first Midnight Louie mystery, now in eBook, offers a publishing industry exposé. When Temple Barr, five-feet-zero of feisty redhead, goes in hot pursuit of a stray black cat streaking through a publishing convention exhibit hall, she stumbles over a big-time NY editor lying dead. While Temple and Midnight Louie are on the case, the famous publishing mascots, a pair of Scottish Fold library cats named Baker and Taylor, are kidnapped for ransom. The pair must sniff out a murderer before Murder by the Book describes their fates.

“Midnight Louie is the funniest, hairiest, hard-boiled detective on the planet.” -- JANET EVANOVICH
