Burgers, Bunting, and Betrayal
(2026)(Book 13 in the Silver Circle Cat Rescue Mystery series)
A novel by Leanne Leeds
A pristine white cat with a story to tell.
A runaway parade float with deadly intentions.
A Memorial Day cookout gone catastrophically wrong.
Memorial Day in Tablerock, Texas should be about honoring heroes, enjoying burgers, and maybe entering the pie contest—okay, maybe not a pie eating contest. Newlywed Ellie Rockwell was hoping for a peaceful holiday with husband Landon at the annual parade and Community Cookout, but when respected veteran Colonel Walter Brennan is flattened by a wayward patriotic float shaped like a giant bald eagle, her plans take a decidedly deadly turn.
The police call it a tragic brake malfunction. Ellie calls it highly suspicious. And when a terrified white cat shows up at Silver Circle Cat Rescue and uses the shelter's magical platter to insist he witnessed the whole thing, Ellie knows her instincts were right—again.
Paws saw something fishy happening before that float rolled, and it wasn't the salmon burgers at the cookout. As Ellie and daughter Evie dig into the case, they discover the Colonel had been fighting with everybody—including cafe curmudgeon Old Carl. Now they're navigating a minefield of patriotic suspects, territorial veterans, and one very chatty feline witness who keeps reminding them that curiosity didn't work out so well for cats.
Can Ellie catch the killer before someone else gets rolled over?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
