Cat in a Sapphire Slipper — Carole Nelson Douglas

Las Vegas PR honcho Temple Barr is happily looking forward to her beloved aunt Kit's wedding to Aldo Fontana, a silver-tongued reputed ex-mobster with a heart of gold. Things go disastrously wrong when the entire bachelor party is hijacked and taken to a remote desert ranch where the women are wild and the sex is legal.

Before the Fontana brothers and Matt Devine, Temple's secret fiancé, can make their way back to the Strip, Matt unhappily stumbles upon a beautiful young woman who is quite naked and most thoroughly dead.

Luckily, twenty-pound tomcat PI Midnight Louie managed to go along for the ride. It's up to that big old tomcat to bail out his humans and save the day.
