Callahan's Savannah Caper
(2024)(The third book in the Cat Callahan Mysteries series)
A novel by Rebecca Barrett
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!
