Cat in a Crimson Haze

Cat in a Crimson Haze is the fourth title in Carole Nelson Douglas's beloved Midnight Louie series. Readers have fallen in love with this tough, tousle-eared black tomcat. Las Vegas is Louie's playground, and he's the first in line for anything, be it a tasty carp from a casino's fishpond - or a fresh crime scene. Louie condescends to share his life with his companion Temple Barr - a petite, redheaded public relations expert who has a high-heel shoe fetish and a nose for trouble - and when a case comes their way, the sparks (and fur) always fly. And what a case they've landed this time. Temple agrees to do an image makeover for the Crystal Phoenix Casino as part of Las Vegas's quest to turn the old Sin City into America's Family Entertainment Central, and it isn't long before she and Louie are up to their paws in theft, missing treasure, and the mystery of a ghostly murder from Las Vegas's dark past. As usual, it's up to Louie to set things right. And save Temple from an all-too-real killer.
