Dixie Hemingway knows first-hand that many things in life are worse than a dirty litter box. Once happy as a Florida sheriffโs deputy, she lost everything when senseless tragedy shattered her world. Now Dixie laces up her sneakers, grabs some kitty treats, and copes with one day at a time as a pet-sitter. Her investigations deal strictly with โcrimesโ such as who peed on the bed . . . until she finds a dead man face down in an Abyssinianโs water bowl. With the local cops stymiedโ including a handsome detective who catches her eyeโshe decides to clip a leash on a lead or two and go sleuthing herself. Dixie soon finds out that the Abyssinianโs pretty owner has vanished and left behind a shocking past, a lonely cat, and a chilling reason for Dixie to start running when sheโs out walking the dogs.
