Cat in a Red Hot Rage is the
nineteenth title in Carole Nelson Douglas’s sassy Midnight Louie
mystery series. This tough talking twenty-pound tomcat PI is
playing at
the top of his game as he walks the walk and talks the talk
on the mean
streets of Las Vegas.
Temple Barr and
Midnight Louie are up to their tails in froufrou, chapeaux,
and murder
when the Red Hat Sisterhood convention hits Las Vegas.
Electra Lark,
Temple's spirited landlady, has dragged her to the
con. Accused of murder after a woman is found
strangled with
an official Red Hat Sisterhood scarf, Electra begs Temple to
clear her
name by posing as a pink-hatter, an under-fifty member of the
organization.
Louie and his
partner in
Midnight Investigations Inc., Midnight Louise, join the hunt
for the
killer at the Crystal Phoenix. They find old friends already
there,
including C-movie actress Savannah Ashleigh, and her Persian
cats,
Louie's ex-love, the Divine Yvette, and her sister
Solange.
As
Temple and Louie dig under all the makeup and shopping bags
it becomes
clear that a whole lot of folks want to crush or cash in on
the red-hot
rage of female empowerment that is the Red Hat Sisterhood.
