Murder in a Casbah of Cats — Kent Conwell

It should've been an easy job for a private investigator -- housesit some cats for a couple weeks and rake in a few thousand bucks thanks to their eccentric owner's bottomless bank account. Practically a vacation. At least, that's what Tony Boudreaux figures until he finds himself trying to herd a veritable horde of cats, navigate a sprawling mansion with hidden tunnels, and deal with an eccentric staff who all harbor their own secrets. And that's before the murder…

After witnessing a homicide on his first night on the job, Tony soon finds himself fending off attempts on his own life, unraveling a massive drug-dealing ring, and dealing with the not-entirely-unwanted attentions of a spoiled heiress -- all while keeping the mansion's many feline inhabitants alive and well.

Now Tony must dig up clues on a fifteen-year-old murder mystery and determine what it has to do with the recent death. And the cats themselves may be his only chance of getting out of this deadly predicament alive.
