Cat in a Crimson Haze: A Midnight Louie Mystery

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Forge, 1995. First Edition, May 1995. Top of page edges lightly soiled elde near fine in dust jacket. Midnight Louie, the coolest feline in Las Vegas, returns to tackle the "nefarious dudes" who are plaguing the Crystal Phoenix Hotel. Freelance publicist Miss Temple Barr, Louie's domestic companion, has signed on to redo the hotel's image and is also writing a big production number for the annual Gridiron roast at the hotel. Her finale trots out old rumors about the mob--all in good fun, she thinks, until she's injured during rehearsals. Meanwhile, ex-priest Matt Devine winds up under the suspicious gaze of Lieutenant Molina when the body of his hated stepfather drops out of the ceiling onto a casino gaming table. Louie learns something of his own about family values, as he manages to keep his identity secret from young, sour-faced Midnight Louise until he and his hostile offspring meet up with a third black cat, the formerly seafaring Three O'Clock Louie..
