Bøker i Cat Callahan Mysteries-serien

Cat Callahan. The big gray cat with the battered right ear isn't exactly a stray, nor is he homeless, since the kind-hearted folks of Warm Springs, Georgia, willingly invite him in and slip him all the tender morsels he wants. He's known by most as 'that darn cat' a feline who shows up whenever something unexplained happens. But Callahan doesn't acquire his name until a drifter comes to town, a man named Benjamin Matthew Daxter, "Dax" for short-hobo by choice. And it's within days after Dax shows up that the murders begin. Hannah Sanderson is assistant director of the Little White House museum, the property beloved by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the major tourist attraction in Warm Springs. When the body of a stranger shows up in the former servants' quarters, Hannah's job is two-fold. Assist with the investigation so the whole mess can be cleared up quickly, and protect her young daughter from the prying eyes of the press. Because there's a secret hidden in her own past, and Hannah doesn't want to relive the nightmare. As the deaths begin to escalate, law enforcement shows up from several jurisdictions. It's beginning to look like the cases won't be solved quietly, but Callahan knows how to be in the right place at the right time to gather clues and provide his own special brand of assistance. The cops may be a little slow on the uptake, at times, but Cat Callahan is on the case and plans to solve the murders before Hannah and her little girl can be harmed.

After leaving Warm Springs, Georgia, Cat Callahan and his human companion, Dax, have moved on to Alabama where Dax takes temporary work at New Hope Ranch. The horse ranch provides equine therapy and training for people with traumatic injuries-in body or mind. One of owner Avery Wilson's goals, in honor of her missing brother, is to gain government approval for veterans who are dealing with PTSD and other conditions. And to get that approval, she needs Campbell Kirkland to inspect the operation. His decision will be crucial. When Camp arrives, he discovers Avery is dealing with a worse situation. Her ex, frustrated that the judge did not grant him a stake in the ranch in their divorce, seems to be behind a series of spiteful moves against her. It appears Eddie is deeply in debt to some dangerous thugs. Based on the evidence, Camp isn't a hundred percent sure that Avery isn't also in on it somehow. And Campbell himself seems to be hiding secrets, as well. Callahan, the big gray cat, is on the case once again, tracking the clues to figure out the truth behind all the human secrets and treachery. Will he put it all together before a terrible fate comes to Avery and her beloved horses? This story was previously published as Trouble in Summer Valley by Susan Y.

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.
