Cat in a Zebra Zoot Suit by Carole Nelson Douglas

In Cat in a Zebra Zoot suit, the 27th Midnight Louie mystery by New York Times Notable Book of the Year author Carole Nelson Douglas, feline P.I. Midnight Louie channels the jazz and swing-dance age. Petite PR powerhouse and amateur sleuth Temple Barr and her faithful roommate, Midnight Louie, must defend a dear friend from a bizarre murder charge that echoes a long-past atrocity. Meanwhile Temple’s fiancé, Matt Devine, turns detective on a secret mission and her ex, a magician with a counter-terrorist past, tangles with vengeful IRA members and a psycho stalker in Ireland. And just what 60-year-old secret makes a defunct fifties nightclub building in Las Vegas the pit of all evil and greed?

CAT IN A ZEBRA ZOOT SUIT is available from Amazon, Audiobooks and Barnes & Noble.
