Book Description
A missing insurance adjuster, a fortune in Russian art and artifacts, a Southern belle, and a devilishly handsome man who isn’t what he first appears to be. Cat Callahan senses a mystery and definitely has his work cut out for him this time. Daxter and Callahan are in Savannah, Georgia—Dax taking handyman jobs, whenever, wherever, and Callahan spending a few days in the pleasant company of Julia Hampton. Julia, of the wealthy Hampton banking family, is trying to slip out of her father’s overly protective grip and start her own private investigation firm, which is no easy task. When her office is ransacked and the big gray cat alerts her to the intruders, she can’t quite make the connection. Nothing was taken. What was it they wanted? Mitch Lawson, U.S. Marshal, is already on the trail of the missing art, a complex route that has brought him to Savannah and put him directly in the path of Julia’s own investigation. His protective instincts toward the Southern beauty instantly go on alert. Will they constantly butt heads or could it be possible to work together? Meanwhile, the wily Scottish Fold cat will follow the clues, and if this Southern lady knows what’s good for her, she’ll listen to what he has to say. Fans of Lilian Jackson Braun’s Cat Who series and Carole Nelson Douglas’s Midnight Louie will love this new cat cozy mystery series!

Book Description
College student Megs Devonshire sets out to fulfill her younger brother George’s last wish by uncovering the truth behind his favorite story. What transpires is a fascinating look into the bond between siblings and the life-changing magic of stories. 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it’s just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: “Where did Narnia come from?” Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life. After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brother’s request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: “The way stories change us can’t be explained. It can only be felt. Like love.” From the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea A captivating, standalone historical novel combining fact and fiction An emotional journey into the books and stories that make us who we are Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Book Description
Cat Callahan and Dax’s travels put them in North Carolina, where a Civil War Reenactment is setting up. Out at dinner with Dax, Callahan spots a beautiful young woman who’s had way too much to drink, and the wily Scottish Fold cat knows this evening might not end well. The sorrow in her eyes tells Callahan the alcohol she consumed had less to do with entertainment than an effort to forget. He decides to stick with her as a kindly man offers to see her back to her hotel. By morning, Wolf Stockton, off-duty U.S. Marshal, is at the county fairgrounds. He’s surprised to learn that the woman he escorted safely to her hotel the night before, Kylah West, is a professional stuntwoman, under contract to perform some of the trickier scenes in the battle. But one of the participants has been murdered. Callahan strolls into the mystery, discovering tension between the university sponsoring the reenactment and a Cherokee nation tired of being wrongly blamed for everything. As the lawman and the cat team up, big questions arise. Is the young victim’s death revenge, an accidental shooting, or a hint that opposing forces in the community are boiling over? Callahan needs to know who is behind the murder. And will Kylah be the next target?

It's the most important mission of his life--because it's the most personal. Once a key player in a clandestine CIA squad, Sam Callahan thought he had finally found a safe, normal life as a rookie lawyer in DC with the woman he loves. But when called to a covert intelligence mission in the heart of Russia, he can't refuse risking it all once more. This time, he'd be joining his estranged father, the Lion, a deep-cover agent Sam never even knew existed. When the operation goes wrong and his team is ambushed, Sam fears a setup. At least he escaped with his life. And so did his father. But why? With a target on his back, he must hunt down the truth behind the betrayal in Moscow--and find the Lion again. Now, crisscrossing Europe under the cover of shadow, Sam is about to come face-to-face with his past--and it's never looked so dangerous.

Book Description
Callahan and Dax become separated when the big gray cat inadvertently hitches a ride eastbound with a lady barrel racer named Malone who’s off to her next pro rodeo competition. When Callahan jumped into her trailer, it was because he spotted a stowaway in need, a frightened young teen named Joss who doesn’t want to talk about her injuries. From the moment of their arrival in Georgia, Callahan knows the sparks will fly between Malone Summers and the rodeo’s Director of Operations, Cade Delaney. Those two have a history that somehow involved broken hearts. It’s clear to Callahan that Cade wants a second chance and Malone isn’t willing. But there are bigger things at stake when rodeo competitors start dying under suspicious circumstances. And what’s the story with Joss, who is clearly terrified that the person she ran away from will catch up with her. Callahan is determined to find out the answers, and he’s one cat who knows how to follow the clues and catch a killer.

Book Description
Dax and Callahan have drifted south now, Dax working on a small construction project for the owner of the Paradise Bed & Breakfast in Key West, while Callahan makes himself at home, scrounging the occasional gourmet fish dinner and chumming around with the island’s Hemingway cats. But trouble soon shows up when Ginger Browne, the inn’s owner, discovers that a guest has perished in their nicest suite. Liberty Anderson was a pretty young woman with plenty of money and the urge to party, and one of the men she approached in a local bar the night of her death just happened to be Trout Richardson, owner of a struggling boat charter business and Ginger’s friend. Within a short time, most of the other guests have vacated the B&B, leaving Ginger to worry about the bills and about Trout’s involvement with the dead woman. The police aren’t looking at any of the really important clues, Callahan thinks, after his preliminary examination of the body and the contents of the victim’s purse. And Trout seems unusually wary of having cops asking questions of him. Will Callahan be able to find out what really happened and restore Ginger’s business before the posturing local police detective bungles the case entirely, and could it be true that there’s a spy in their midst?
