Fruit of the Tomb — Carole Nelson Douglas

WHERE DID THIS COOL LITERARY LION COME FROM: Included is a Midnight Louie interview with collaborator Carole Nelson Douglas

MIDNIGHT LOUIE is SAM SPADE . . . with hairballs.

In his twenty-four book series, the twenty-pound black feline PI narrates his own chapters about his investigations in an alley-cat Noir voice. Meanwhile, four human crime solvers--two pro, two amateur; two women and two men--solve murder most malicious in Las Vegas and unravel an international terrorism conspiracy that threatens all their lives and many more.

"Glitters and snaps like the town that inspired it."--Nora Roberts, New York Times bestselling author

This mystical mystery cat has also had Past Life adventures. "Fruit of the Tomb" is a story set ancient Egypt, where a canny and courageous outcast black cat held the honorable position of Pharaoh's Footstool and became the first Private Eye of Horus. Ancient evil-doers, touch not the cat.

"Among the many appealing felines on the mystery scene, Midnight Louie stands out as the coolest cat of all. You don't have to be a cat lover to appreciate his savoir faire."--RT Book Reviews

"Carole Nelson Douglas takes anthropomorphism to elegant heights as Midnight Louie, a tom who's a private dick, harries Las Vegas malefactors."--Publishers Weekly
