Cat in a Sapphire Slipper is the
twentieth title in Carole Nelson Douglas’s sassy Midnight
Louie mystery series. The
tough-talking, twenty-pound, tomcat PI is as feisty as ever
as he and his gang try to keep his favorite roommate from
losing her man.
PR honcho Temple
Barr’s romance novelist aunt Kit has wound up in a romantic
plot of her own. She’s snagged one of the most eligible
bachelors on the Strip, one of the elder Fontana brothers, a
silver-tongued reputed ex-mobster with a heart of gold.
There is to be a wedding…and where
there is a wedding there is usually a bachelor party. Things
go disastrously wrong when the entire party is hijacked and
taken to a remote ranch out in the Nevada desert, a place
where the women are wild and the sex is legal. And among the
group? None other than Temple’s own Matt, an ex-priest.
Truly a fish out of water, he soon
comes upon a beautiful young woman who is quite naked and
most thoroughly dead. Given the remoteness of the location
with very few suspects on hand (plus the Fontanas' shady
reputation) this could be a very bad thing
indeed.
And Louie? Well, he managed
to go along for the ride and once again it’s up to that big
old tomcat to bail out his humans and save the
day.
Cat in a
Sapphire Slipper is a fast-paced, racy mystery with a
loveable cast of characters and one terrific tough dude to
keep them all in line.
